I'm prolly behind everyone else in #Monsterdon because I just **HAD** to re-rack to take a closer look at that hollowware headgear, supposedly given trouble by high humidity, which is weird given the components I saw there: nearly all encapsulated capacitors. Ceramic-clad electrolytics, a good number of resin-clad film, on micah of all things and one disc ceramic. That solitary vacuum tube was pre-miniaturization era type.
Yes, I'm glad Ari assisted me to view tonight's #Monsterdon because YESSSSS! Nerd fuel here! That weirdo that stopped the car to strangle its driver had a recognizable AM radio dial on his head--and before the driver was strangled, he tried to burn the weirdo with an old thing that was replaced with traffic cones nowadays: a thing that looks like a canonball but holds kerosene in it and you could light it on the top. WOW what an antique!
So--"Distant Cousins" did the music. I gotta say that they're a great knock-off band, laying out the styles of the popular music at the time, from Billy Vaughn's "Wheels" style guitar work at the beginning, British Invasion style, Frank Sinatra, Johnny Rivers style...man, they're talented that way. Not as agile as The Roots but damn close.
Oh yeah--I did do a bingo card, got a bingo quite some time ago--but I have to say that when I marked "radio broadcast" it was in reference to a sound effect they used as precursor to theramin: it was RADIOTELETYPE. Yessirree, this movie was a nerd's delight! #Monsterdon
Well, there's a mix - but mostly based upon more modern (1930s and '40s) pentodes. One amp is a Fenderish 5F1 and the other a 5E3 - the 5E3 is push-pull, I believe, and the F1 really has nothing to cascade into - its an incredibly simple circuit and basically straight-through; there's not even a tone stack.
@Tom Grzybow Well, thanks for cluing me in, I was very curious about that. Not sure about how "modern" 30s-40s tubes are compared to the miniaturized tubes of the 50s - 60s, though. Early 40s saw the use of radial "acorn" tubes that were basic triodes...still...well done in any case. Kudos!

in reply to Tom Grzybow • •Miniature triodes or the very old fashioned pre-miniature big ass triodes? Cascade or push-pull? How about shoot me a few numbers?
