Hey Mick!
I will be using the A2 mags you sent me with the PRS clone I am building. I work with ORIX Auto Leasing and we might have one of our conventions in Australia one of these days. Hope that I can go and maybe give you a ring.

They were not the swiss army bees ( they were too busy to help as they were opening tin cans and cutting down little branches etc..,) they are just worker bees

That would be cool Ruel , if you get some time off you are more than welcome here..

Hey Ruel , how have you been??

It depends on what the little worker bees have been gathering pollen from , some plants are quite acidic , some very alkaline , I use beeswax from bees that only gather from neutral plants in Switzerland ,so mine will be fine

Mick

Thats clever as shit man!!

I've read that beeswax attracts water also, which could be a problem eventually. I read about it specifically relating to Vox transformers on their 50's and 60's amps because they used beeswax in them and they tend to rust out and short the windings more than other maker's transformers.

Could have?? not sure if Albion used beeswax or not? but the Vox's do run very hot so it could have been something else..? but to bee on the safe side I have decided to add a special blend of waterproof bees wax from the tropical rainforest bee of the amazon ( shh , it's not supposed to leave south america..)..so thanks for pointing it out...
