Traynor YBA-1 valve amp demo
This amp uses a solid state rectifier, ecc83 pre amp valves and el34 output valves. It dates back to 1979. It has a replacement Albion transformer, which I believe was added shortly after purchase. The reason for the OT change would be impedance.
Earthships and living Off Grid
Earthships are designed with the aim of living totally off grid.
Off Grid basically means not buying your utilities from a company.
While the utility companies appear to rip us off with ever increasing prices and never seem to pass on the full savings they make when gas and oil wholesale prices go down, it makes sense to consider going Off Grid. A major change, of course.
You can heat your house with the sun, get your electricity from the sun and wind and harvest yur water from your roof.
Who wouldn't want that?
Earthships are one solution of many.
