Using Photobucket -click on the "wheel" in the upper right hand corner of the picture-click on "get link"-left click on "HTML Link"-you will see it "copied"- then simply paste it to your post.

To post a photo type this:
img src=""
Copy and Paste the URL to the photo in between the double quotes:
img src="http://i262.photobucket.com/albums/ii108/goose712/2007022.jpg"
Put a < at the very beginning of it all and a > at the very end.
Voila! It's easy. Once you learn it it takes only a few seconds to post a pic. But the pic has to reside on the Internet somewhere for it to work.

Way too much work-the way I described in Photobucket alleviates all that-

Tom, HTML is fun. You don't have to own or use Photoshop, or any other tool. It's easy and fast. Try it.
For some people I think figuring out Photoshop would be harder than typing img src="".
Barley, nice little collection!

He has to get the link from Photobucket-he is already there. It takes 2 seconds to get the link and post it-now if Goose did not have Photobucket-thats a different story.

I see what you mean. I was thinking PhotoSHOP, not Photobucket. Makes sense now.
Knowing HTML is very handy, like when you want to post a short hot link to a web page instead of a long URL that the readers must copy and paste into our browsers to view the page. It is a courtesy to the readers: they only need one click.

Lectrolab R500c
Yep, It was a basket case at a country music store. The owner ask if I could get it workin. The origional tweed was rotted off the bottom half and no sound. I fixed it electricly and really liked the tone. I took it back to him and he paid me. About 6 wks later I bought it from him. Then I put in a wood baffle, a P12Q from a Hammond organ. Put on the blue tolex and salvage cain grill, new handle and corners. The ivory checken heads really set it off! The cab is made of cardboard, (homosote) so it is light weight. Two channels that are in phase. EL84's. Came out nice, this is one of my favorites...BN

Rick, That is a MusicMaster Bass amp choped to a head. No, I bought it that way. I switched it to grid leak bias then put a sw in the second input jack hole that cut the bipass cap in V1. i usually played it with the cap in though. Had to put vintage tolex on the bottom and a vintage peice of grill cloth to make it correct. Ran big PS caps, .047 couplers and JJ 6V6's. Never really bonded with it. Now in Florida I think. I sure was cute though...BN

I just ran some drywall screws thry them and put a partial back on and a tilt back leg on a hindge. This rig has tons of cut at 17W...BN

Hey, I think I got this figured out...
 This is "The Honker" 16W of tone to die for. This is the Lone Wolf VJ preamp married to a set of screen feed self inverting EL84's. There is no PI in this circuit. One of a kind. Used a Hammond AO44 trannies and chassis. I paid 3 bucks for the cab at a yard sell. Had to scrub piggon poop off of it. Probably an early 50's cab, Tweed is in amazingly good condition. You can definatly gig with this amp unmiked. I have never used the line out. Awsome...BN

 '61 Bandmaster w/ 6 tube preamp. I sold this rig sadly to give my son some cash when he went to USAF basic training. It was dead and painted black when I got it. The speaker cab is a Fender Bassman 2x12 cab that I re-tolexed. One of the few that got away...BN

Here is a Harvard I built for my brother. Used a Zenith colsole chassis. Wood is 100 yr old verticle grain spruce from the Pacific NW. this wood was salvaged twice. Once remover from the stage floor ate Westminister Collage and was then reinstalled in my brothers house. Then there was a fire and the HW floor was replaced w oak. I got what was left of this wood. Sanded off the black paint and painstakeingly built the cab. The Hervard is one of the best harp amp circuits out there. Also excellent for acoustic geetar...BN

I tried the Musicmaster amp and same as you I never really liked the tone much. That is the first one I've seen chopped down to a head. Pretty cool, but I'd put Champ innards in it.
I like the SFVC in the photo after the MM.
What is that suitcase PA?
and... I take it you keep cats?

 '59 Sano 30W HiFi amp and matching slave reverb amp. The 30 rocks but the slave reverb comes off the ext speaker jack and is a tone sucker. I bought these both at a flee mkt, All the trannies were toast. I knew this when i bought them so the price was right. Used organ iron and new caps to get then up. The 30 runs Utah PA15P. It runs EL34's and had a $200.00 Amperex GZ34 in there that some chinaman has now. Paid for the amps and the fix. LOL This is a harp monster...BN

 68 Fender Bandmaster, This is somewhat of a basterd. The origional faceplate was horid so I got the BF plate from Marsh. It has the wrong logo too for a 68. I just did the cosmetic work, tokex and hardware. spruced up the guts a touch but this amp is unmodded but freshined electrically. This is my favorite big amp . When you hook this up to one of the 2x10 cabs, you WILL be heard. Great harp amp and very affordable because the guitar guys don't care for them. Good thing...BN

 '68 Bronco, same as a VC but cooler. Pretty much stock and freshened. Has a Weber 8F125-30 in it. This speaker is not really a harp speaker. Feedback can be a problem but it is LOUD AS HELL!. I really like this thing in certain rooms. The trem is great on this one...BN

 This is my Stereo Harvard in it's tempory head cab. This is 35W per channel using a Fender Harvard preamp and finalls x2 w/ 2x 6L6WGB per chnl. Has a common power supply w/ 100uF of filtering on the first and second node. Also uses the Marshall style bias supply as in the 2204. Very quiet amp! Has NFB defeat. I switched the powertube cathode ground for a standby sw. No POP! Crammed 4x6V6's and some big iron onto a Magnavox console chassis for this build. I built this because the Harvard I built for my brother was lushious. This will get a new V front cab made from the same salvage flooring as the first Harvard pictured above. Will run 4x NOS 6x9 Webers w/ floting baffles. I have the cab all drawn up...BN

 2x8's and a 12 in the Super Princeton Reverb. I just scratch built a new chassis for this. Used Bassman OT and salvage PT for 35W output w/ 6L6's. Used .1 PIO couplers on this one. 100uF on first and second node. Has Marshall style bias supply, NFB sw, Mid control on back which is a switched pot. The switch lifts the tone stack groubd for RAW. BIG volume boots but don't like the tone in this mode. The bias vary trem on this will shake the walls... Combination power/standby swithch used. Again switching the finalls cathode ground wire for Standby. Using this methode you must have your caps rated high enough voltage wise, to handle the rise in PS voltage when you go to standby, thus droping the load from the PS. Man, this chassis is FULL. I put some tilt back legs on the cab.
OK, thats it for now, more later maybe...Hope you enjoyed the show...BN
