Needles Eye Quad status?

Post by fdskier56 »

Any Intel on what’s up with needles eye quad?

I remember back to Christmas week-
It was running for several hours on multiple days, but never opened.

I see it closed all wknd…
Has it been open at all this year?

Any Intel if it’s broken?

Waiting on a part. I didn’t think 6L6 tubes were hard to come by but here we are.

Four, actually. That’s why the lift rocks like an over driven Twin Reverb. Those modern solid state lifts are all meh.

I mean 6L6 is readily available based on a quick google search, if you're serious... :cool

And yes there is nothing like a tube driven amp. That being said I'm certainly curious on all of these digital amp modelers as they are starting to be used by "proffesionals"

I had heard it was a brake system replacement that they were waiting on.

Nope, Rogman is on the right track, just a more modern version.

How about Mikey and Tait provide a little update on this issue - missed 2 holiday periods with the lift so far. Going to be another weekend of a largely unskiable trail pod unless you want to wait 30+ minutes to get out of there.

Bravo guys - really knocking em dead this year. One of the two of you are in over your heads.

I enjoy the irony that when I load up the K mobile site it is usually a photo of needles eye quad.

Needle's only has an evac drive, so it can't run on diesel except to unload people. K1, Snowdon, Ramshead, Stage 1, Stage 2, and Skye Peak have full backup.
