5150 Amp Prototype What Did it Look Like?

I was just doing some reading on James Brown the guy from Peavey who worked on the design of the original 5150 stuff for E. Van Halen. I've always wondered how they did their prototype/experimental amp build; was it built using a breadboard? Tag board? Terminal strips? Did they work on a lead channel version only and then later add the clean channel and switching? Does anybody have any pictures?
