Allright!!! We have sound! And it sounds really good! I ordered a set of Cliff Jacks in case I need to replace the speaker jacks and the input jacks, but I don't think I will at this point.
I do have grounding issues. When the amp is on and in run mode, I get buzzing that gets louder with the amp volume. At this point, there is no guitar plugged into any input. When I touch the chassis, the buzz goes mostly away. But there is still a buzz. When I plug a guitar in, same situation (obviously).
All of the diagrams of Switchcraft style jacks have no ground wired, presumably because they are grounding to chassis. I think I need to ground them to the control pot buss. Confirm deny?
THESE ARE NOW OLD PICTURES, I WILL POST UP THE NEW PICS WHEN THE AMP IS SORTED

Long view of chassis.
Now, the original Traynor YBA-1 had a 180ohm 15Watt resistor soldered to ground from the Output Transformer center tap on the output jack to ground. See pics below. It is important to know that this amp has a single 8ohm Output Transformer tap. That's all I get.
Here it is as currently wired with no reference to ground.
Before, when I was testing the amp, I remembered the 180ohm resistor and said to myself, well something was going to ground, I should just ground it. Because of this, I was basically getting no output from the amp. Once I cut the ground wire out, full volume was available, but it had that buzz.
I am so very close to getting this thing done, any help would be amazing.
Thanks!
