FYI if it's commercial, then the rules state that you need to have made at least 100 posts before posting. Maybe an allowance could be made by a consensus of the moderators on this historic occasion, perhaps to include pictures posted in the gallery. Also personal items for sale need a prior history of 20 posts. In any case, I think this particular initiative is already being well publicised on 18watt.com :D

Now why would I have any interest in a piece of junk like that? :lol:

Note: does the post meter increment for each new topic or subject?
I noticed WEM's post counter seems to be stuck on 37 posts?
Not sure why...

The post number is dynamically updated with the latest number, so that all posts by any member, going back to their very first one, will all show the same number of posts. This is a feature and not a bug. :lol:

Too true: trashy repro. I wouldn't give one house space.
(But I might build a shrine for one!)

I'm the "wrong" side of the pond: 4,500 miles from real ale. Help!

The Watkins Dominator build photo log in the Spongebob gallery is now complete. I've added a little video clip so you can see and hear how it sounds.

Production of the limited edition Golden Anniversary Dominator has now commenced (taken a year to get this far).

I've attached a photo of the man himself - Charlie Watkins - as he signs each individual chassis with a gold pen.

I think my house could be considered a shrine to the Dominator, I've got bit's of them all over the place. 96 Celestion G10 speakers in the kitchen, 100 chassis in the bedroom, 10 finished cabinets in a spare room, 4 prototypes in various stages of disarray, 100 control panels in my office, dozens of transformers, valves, nuts & bolts in the garage...

It's amazing I don't get grief from "head office", she's very tolerant.

Pictures of the very first production cabinets and chassis. The red/cream one is for a VIP customer, it's not standard, but as he ordered 2 Dominators, what could I say?
