50W Plexi build questions
Hi Guys!
New at the forum and just love it Lot of cool amp and info!
I`m new to building amps but been dreaming off building a 50W plexi from scratch.
I have a few questions what size is the turret board? Is the a some sort of in scale template somewhere here?
Can i use a JTM45 Chassis and faceplates they would be easily available.
If i follow the 50W plexi instructions (as a first timer) what should look out for other than drain the caps obviously.
Thank you for your answers.

Everything you need is at http://www.valvestorm.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Robert has even created build checklists (including a 50w) and links to procure your transformers - one stop shopping!

Re: 50W Plexi build questions
I'll give a thumbs up for Valvestorm also! Great site to get everything you need for your build including some nice NOS components if you want to go that route in your build. I got everything for my 50 watt build from them except for a set of Piher resistors that I sourced from Ebay because I wanted to keep the build as authentic as possible. For a first build the amp turned out great and fired up perfect on the first try. Just take your time and do your research and read as many build threads as you can here on the forum. There are some really excellent builds here to look at and it will give you an idea of the proper lead dress for your wiring to keep everything neat and tidy and the amp sounding great. Be sure to learn as much as possible about proper work technique to keep yourself safe. I spent months reading and studying as much info as I could find before I felt comfortable enough to begin the project. Anyway...go for it and good luck with your build!

Re: 50W Plexi build questions
I`ve look at Valvestorm but the postages & taxes would make the parts considerably expensive.
Most likely i`ll get the parts locally at least try to
I`ll be using a JTM45 chassis and make the turret board my self
Making the board would be a good start to the project.

I have a 50w plexi project sitting here waiting for time (that I do not have) and am in the UK. I was going to build it as a Plexi 2204 with 2 in 1 plexi/2204 switch. It has both an original 2204 board with mustards and Pihers as well as a bare BrianH turret board.
It has original Drake transformers, Merc mag choke and lots of NOS parts and a Mojo smallbox headcab in black with Marshall script too.

Re: 50W Plexi build questions
If on the offchance you still have that in a few months time, Neil, I might have to have a word with you.
But right now, times are hard.
