"Thanks UJ", Yep!, have always been a bit of a "Tin Can Fan", these last 2 Builds have now prompted me to dig out some earlier Tinnyjo Builds, done when they were all the rage on CBN a few years back, as the Pic shows they have been aging nicely in one of my storage sheds, gathering Cobwebs, Dust, Rust, Gecko Shit, and heaven knows what else, they will all be cleaned up, to some extent, probably retaining some of that so called "Patina". ;-D

High 9s, Alan. You currently reign as my fave builder. Love seeing a can top resonator again. It has been a while since I have seen that.
Darn you, I have been out of the building mood for a while and the can thing tempts me.
