I'm borrowing a nice camera from work and need to do some work on my 1974 #Traynor YGL-3 guitar amp, so I think I'll make a lil movie about it for #peertube. Its been about a decade since I've opened it up.

The YGL-3 is a POWERFUL guitar amp, directly comparable to a #Fender Twin Reverb - around 100 watts into 4 ohms via 4 EL34 pentodes.

They have HEAFTY canadian-made Hammond transformers for both power and output.

I have previously modified the bias supply to accept both EL34 and 6L6GC (and maybe 7027 but I forget) and its currently running on only a pair of 6L6s.

Work to be completed:

- Sus out why no output from the 2nd channel
- mod 1st channel voicing to the AB768 Deluxe Reverb
- potentially mod global negative feedback to *reduce* available gain (I forget if I've done this already)

If this is the sort of thing that floats your boat, let me know below!

Where all my #tubeamp folks at? Do you play, own or collect #TubeAmps? Or perhaps you know them as the more appropriate #ValveAmps?

I grew up building, repairing and modifying tube amps of all sorts, but for me, nothing beats a 1960s #traynor pop-top.

What's your favourite amp to play or work on?

Federal judge blocks employee abortion, IVF protections
at thousands of Catholic employers nationwide

The group that brought the challenge to a new federal policy argues it cannot be forced to accommodate
"immoral infertility 'treatments.'"

A federal judge in North Dakota issued an #injunction on Monday ❌blocking the🔸 Equal Employment Opportunity Commission🔸 from protecting
any employees of any members of a nationwide Catholic association
who are seeking time off or other accommodations under the #Pregnant #Workers #Fairness #Act
for an ♦️abortion or
♦️in vitro fertilization ( #IVF ) treatment.

U.S. District Judge #Daniel #Traynor, a Trump appointee to the federal court in North Dakota, issued the🔸 religion-infused preliminary injunction🔸 to partially
🆘 block enforcement of an EEOC rule implementing the 2022 law,
👉along with related implementation of Title VII of the #Civil #Rights #Act of 1964,

as to the Catholic Benefits Association and its members
— current or future
— #nationwide.

The order covers ⚠️more than 8,000 employers
— including thousands of churches
— across the country.

The #PWFA was passed in December 2022 and is supposed to protect covered workers from discrimination on the basis of “pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions”
by, in part, requiring employers to provide employees with reasonable accommodations.

The EEOC proposed its implementing rule for the PWFA in August 2023,
stating in part that abortion and fertility treatment, including IVF,
are covered by the law’s protections.

That rule, which does not relate to insurance coverage, went into effect in June.

Judge Traynor concluded that the CBA is likely to succeed in its challenge to the rule and related Title VII enforcement guidance under the "Religious Freedom Restoration Act".

Any appeal would go to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit,
which only has one Democratic appointee among its 11 judges.
