Bajaman, Those pics are of the original amp. Mine is still in the preliminary stages of chassis hole punching & board fabbing. I'm doing everything humanly possible not to stray from the original in order to have a reasonably accurate benchmark.

Little niggles like the actual length of the stainless steel standoffs had to be guessed at using dimensions of the 80uf Mallory caps under the power supply board.I'm going on the premiss that the filament leads are pushed to the back of the amp and flat like a Marshall would have them. (I'm mean I don't see them anywhere...) Layout dimensions for the components were given to me by one of the fine folks at Ampgarage.
When the brain is done I have to fab the cabinet. I'm trying to picture how I'll cut the kerfs/mortises in the mitered joints that eventually recieve typical small gold piping after the Tolex is applied. Possibly a jig for the table saw can be devised that allows one to rotate the cab nimbley over the saw blade.
Yeah, yikes.
A finger tally before & after is on my must do list.
