[sdiy] Another cat pee mystery solved, Juno 106

[Eric Honour]

The father of a friend of mine had a very nice, very expensive tube amp from
about 1970. After thirty years of it laying in his closet, he sold it on
Ebay. Turns out a cat had peed all over the tubes, and when he'd turned it
back on to test it he'd not left it on long enough for the smell to get bad
(he assumed that what he had smelled was burning dust). So now the guy that
bought it on Ebay's pissed, I don't know how it got resolved in the end...
but the story makes me grin every time I think about it.
