I get a daily email and thought to myself this morning “why bother looking it is only one thing and its probably spam.” I was going to delete it but looked.
How does it sound?

Who cares about those limited SA members only stands. How does the shirt fit?

The shirt is perfect, i need a good clean file of the forum logo and name so i can go have it silkscreened and maybe add If the First Watt sucks why continue?
Edit to add that T-shirt was the most expensive wrap and protection you could have used to protect the wood, so totally unnecessary and it was a good brand too

There is an SVG (vector graphic version of it) version of it here

Perfect, and thank you. I will work with this and see what we can come up with for a T-shirt. 
Yesss, our own T-shirt for wearing at future shows and events 
I’m psyched!

We definitely should place a group t-shirt buy. I’m in if we do, only caveat is that it needs to be a GOOD t-shirt, no cheap crap. T-shirtphile quality.

Tbh as a special SA thing i was going to see if i could get the logo lasered into the bottom of the stands with the buyer’s name. Unfortunately health things kicked in and i wanted to finish them while i had the time. I tried super heating a paper clip shaped like the logo but it was meh. So instead i put a shitty 1 line avante style pen drawing of it where no one can see.
Tbh @NickMimi my work friend does shirt printing and i could have made them as a thank you to everyone for their patience but i didn’t even think of it.

It was such a long time ago, I honestly forgot which contributing member actually came up with the logo. It was a sort of group effort at first. It’s grown on me a lot and seeing the stark b&w logo in the link Poly shared. It would look good on a white t.
We could even have the logo on back with our screen name small on the chest. Garb for audio shows. 
Let’s do it, willing to colab with you @Souldriver if you want to let your friend know and I can work with him on a group purchase and share the design with the community, take the orders and then place/pay for them etc.
@Polygonhell if you think it’s good an we have your blessing, perhaps move this conversation to it’s own subject post?

Lets take it to private messages, my viewpoint is, if your not making a living off the logo, T-Shirts, a few headphone stands etc., knock yourself out.
If it was a significant for profit business, it’s a bigger discussion.
I mostly just don’t want to be dragged into disputes because the site name/logo was used.
@Mr_Makua created the original logo.
The name is one I suggested, picked from a list of suggestions from various original members.

TBH, i am not too into SA swag. I would only buy in if there WAS a small profit but it ALL went to something like site hosting costs or there is a clear laid out charity, etc.
This is on decware shirts

Hadn’t considered that but it’s a good idea. TBH though I think we’d wind up taking a t-shirt order for 25 people… not a lot of profit there. lol

First of a few tubes coming this way…
A 1940s National Union 5U4G. I believe it is rebranded RCA, and looks darn close to it.

Juat an FYI, most National and National Union American made tubes are rebranded Ken-Rad or GE tubes. Japanese made National and National Union tubes are mostly rebranded Matsushita or Japanese made Raytheon tubes.

Yes, i think all NUs are rebrands. I have an RCA here i am going to compare it to. I do not have a GE or Kenrad on hand though. But ill take pics and add.
Some of this stuff is sentimental and like those antique collectors. Ill probably never need a second rca 5u4g, but i love that NU logo.
