Those were pretty nice parts you just had "lying around". 8) If you have trouble finding use for them, I could always relieve your burden... :lol:

Are you running 50uF mains and 50uF screens?

Yea, if you ever need to get rid of some spare parts, I'll gladly take them. As a courtesy to help you organize.

Yeah, really nice, mikey!!! Where ya been??

Only thing I don't like is the way the knobs sit off the face plate (Here's a hint though, don't drill them any deeper unless you use a flat bottom drill or end mill...you'll ruin a few... :oops: )

That is one awesome build, man !

Yeah Chief, about doze knobs... For what I see here the finishing touches would be a set of Scott's.
Available on eBay U.K. (right now !) and once-in-a-while, U.S.

(Here are the ones I have...)

Need I mention, whilst you're snoopin',
to acquire some china hats... :wink:

Killer job, bro !

Hey, I don't shine no mo, Billy! Maybe I need to borrow momma's steak knife to cut the "hoof out of the grill"...

I got a bottle of TQ with your name on it for next visit, buddy! :stars:

Jimi, tell me more about those knobs. I ruined a whole set trying to counterbore them deeper.

Yes I hate it when you think you have finished and you have two or three 'part amps' which you just have to finish by buying more stuff and on it goes :roll:

Nice work, btw, but I guess you know that already :wink:

From my understanding were manufactured for those fine English chaps at Marshall & H.H. Scott
