So what was the donut shaped board?

Series of boards shaped like each state. 50 in all

I absolutely swear the following is true:
Before you posted that, I asked myself what would be an especially weird shape for a PCB, and quite randomly, "Oklahoma" is the answer that popped into my head.

I want to see what a noncontiguous state like Hawaii would look like, as a PCB.

Ah thanks for that I've never noticed that project before.

actually, your state lines are generally very easy as an outline with lots of straight lines. Anywhere but the US, the borders are way worse for pcb shape. But I like the idea. could be like a puzzle. Once you got them all, you got the monster build (with pads to hook them all together)

West of the Mighty Miss, yes. But east of it? You ever seen the border of Kentucky? That flat southern border is a respite for the hellacious rest of that state's border, haha.

I like the idea of a state mega-build, though have fun drilling that enclosure if they're board mounted pots and switches...

Let's make that Monday for the UT video. In the process of trying to remove the bad tube I destroyed several pads on the main board and it's not repairable. So, I'm building up a new board tomorrow. So, that happened. RIP OG UberTuber.

But, while I'm at it I'm going to test the rest of the tubes I got this weekend so yay me.

Yay Brian :-)

I had all my parts together to finish this tonite till I realized that by "long-pin pcb pots" you meant "long-pin pcb pots".  I was going to McGiver the short pins with buss wire and finally just ordered the darn things. Geez.

Is there a way to test the 6111 tube before soldering it into place?
I'm guess the answer to that is "not really"

[hasanova]

I was even wandering if there is a way to use pins and pinholders or some sort to test the tubes and maybe not even have to solder them at all, like bigger pre-amp & out-put tubes and their sockets.

You could breadboard just the input stage to test tubes. If one triode works chances are the second one does, too. You will need to hook up the heaters though so you would need to be very careful about touching the 5W resistor (let it cool down after powering off).
