I have several rails (tubes) of op amps, but not 200. I have 2-741's, 10-LM224's (quads for a total of 40 op amps), 32-LF353's (duals for a total of 64 op amps), 11-LM258's (duals for a total of 22), and 12-NE5532's (duals for a total of 24 op amps). Then I have some IC power amps and IC audio pre-amplifiers. Still less than 200 amps, I guess.

I would ask you what in the world you are doing with 200 741's, but here I am with 152 op amps.

Thanks for the welcome.

Back in the 1980s I worked in the voice recognition field. Think Siri and Alexa’s Grandpas. We use to dump excess inventory a few times a year. I hate throwing anything useful away.

Just have my two very old amps. Both from early/mid 70s.

 

[Sapient]

I may have deleted my amp images, which really sucks. Here's a straggler with my main 2 heads anyway ...

Both Satriani's. Blue is LE.

Stereo Chorus!! WaHoO!!!

The old silver stripe Bandits were really cool bullet proof old amps TBH.

You guys were all supposed to laugh at this, led by Jethro. He knows better. I think.

How useful are they now? I assume those cards fit nothing current? Just wondered...

 

[Session 5]

I just said that to spark you guys up. Seems to have worked. I'm sure there are plenty of people with more amps than me.

I don't know the rules on file sizes and max per post and things, so I guess I'll just see what happens. Here is one that not everyone has.

It must be hard to get that authentic tone on that Fender being on that angle..

I heard if it's a stereo head all the sound goes to one side.

They are useless; they had a 100 word vocabulary. The small card was for the original IBM PC with the ISA bus. The larger one was first and used an Intel Multibus architecture.

Wow. 100 word.
That is some old stuff. Keep a couple for posterity and recycle the rest? If it was me. Never even heard of Intel Multibus. Cool old stuff!

The biggest amp Fender ever made; get a forklift.
This amp had a master volume, before Randell Smith "invented" the master volume control.
