It's not this, assuming impedances are matched.
So it's one of these, or some other explanation. I doubt the speakers are conservatively rated. I have a friend that blew one of those same speakers with a 5153 EL34 50W in a 2x12. It was that anniversary speaker, and a Swamp Thang. He was...
You could try Noodler's Bulletproof Black fountain pen ink. It's a waterproof, archival ink that chemically bonds with cellulose to make it extremely hard to remove from paper. Given wood is cellulose too, it might do the job. Very black...
What I usually hear from techs isn't that it's not "textbook", it's that the way Mesa did something is a broken way of doing it, or is prone to failure, or adds hours onto a repair job for no reason thus costing the owner more, and other stuff like that.

The time I saw Zakk Sabbath he did the same for the solo spot during the set. Widdled his way from the stage to the balcony and back. Aside from that it was a good show.

I was told that if you can't tap your foot through a part, you don't have the rhythm for it down. That seems to track well in my experience. Also, the rhythmic exercises guitar lessons I've been working through all emphasize always tapping your foot on the beat regardless of what your hands are...
Jason at headfirst has a video on it I think. One big difference between the windsor and jcm800 is that the windsor uses a cathodyne phase inverter while the Marshall uses a long tail pair. If Mr. Steve M. Fryette is to be believed, that'll change how it sounds when cranked. You can probably...
CF probably means carbon film type resistor, axial meaning it looks like a regular resistor with the leads coming out the ends, 5% meaning it will measure to within 5% of it's marked value, 1/4W meaning it can take that much power before it goes POOF!
The ValveKings I've seen are the same...
