Post by andrew Ivimey »

Can anyone point me to an authoritative, realistic and true declaration that it is okay to operate EL34s horizontal, diagonal, upside down, at 33.7degrees north etc, in the long term aswell as the boringly conventional vertical, please????

I appreciate these are not delicate DHTs but even so, on their sides for 12 years - is this possible?

Yep it's like the Kama Sutra :D

Can tend to run quite hot though IMHO so I'd wanna make sure they get some air

Actually, probs shouldn't have one above another, as the top one will get a load of hot air
