Did EDREL pass away?
no, Edrel is very much alive, healthy, wealthy and well, i promised him the Philips ecc189's....
Efren Noble who was from Teresa in Rizal was a frequent visitor to my house, he was a passionate
diy'er too attched to ClassA and tube sets, i helped him build his 13FM7 sets, providing him with the
irons he needed...he died more than a year ago, i was at his wake then, he was too young to go...
he could have made more tube amps were it not for fate intervened....
he is missed at elab.ph, his threads are still alive to this day...
efren also posted here at pdvd....
i have to admit, i am happiest when young people come to
the house asking me for advice ...
i do not look at them as an opportunity to make money....
but as a way to help them in their tube journey...
all because, as a young kid, we were too poor to afford the cost
of materials to build amps....my best friend in high school who is now in the states,
gave me my first soldering iron in the 60's....
i went to older guys who gave this things to me so i too
can have a head-start.....i am merely paying them back....
