Weird. Others can see them, right?

Ah, seems it's my VPN. I was getting a 404 error until I shut it off. Pictures come through without any fuss. Sorry for raising a flag when the issue was completely on my end.
Cheers!

That's ok, but I was having an issue like that, too, and I don't use a vpn!

UPDATE:
Sam and I came to an agreement on price and the amp has been with me a few days.
It needed a good scrub and freshen up.
Good new is there were no melted wires and most of it is original, including two nice Mullard ECC83s. The chassis corner straightened easily and I had to drill and bolt the weld with a couple of 6BAs rather than lose all the paint. I had a lamp cover already and had a new panel made up. Had to superglue the big paint flakes down but it is stable now. The chassis brackets have their captive nuts rattling around loose.
Faults so far: signs of arcing between HT and heater on one of the octals, a couple of 100k cc resistors replacing a 220k on the loop. That gaffa tape was two 16uF 450v in series on the PI.
Now I need to whip the big electrolytic cans out, warm them up, dry them off (bit like old honey in a jar) and try a reform them back to spec, replace the odd resistors and the socket. Then I will do running tests.
Then I will post some pics and maybe some clips. Shame I have to work this weekend and off to Dublin next week.
