Probably a stupid question but is the jtm45/100 going to continue being made ? I would love one oneday but can't afford one any time soon and would hate for it to stop being made because since they are so good it would probably skyrocket in value like the originals and I wouldnt be able to afford one

I would imagine as long as there is a market there to warrant production runs George will continue to sell them. I too want a JTM 100. I want George's chassis and face plates but thats going to have to wait a while as the credit crunch here means i'll be tightening my belt after the 18 watt build.

Got to shift my overdraft as interest rates will be cranking up soon enough. No more amp building for a while :(

Yeah, and you're not even supposed to play it according to the disclaimer:

"NOTE: This amp uses a Bulgin AC socket and plug and DOES NOT meet modern electrical saftey standards. It should be used for display purposes ONLY."

Lol. I thought you meant the kit. Yeah I imagine it will. The disclaimer is a legality.

Yep, the amp will be available. I have a few dozen chassis. I've only built (4) of these to date.

The disclaimer was intended to address CE and UL safety issues. But totally missed the point. My bad on that one.

Well thats a given. But I thinks its also that so few people know very about the KT66 amps. They may be reluctant to get one for that reason.

+ there has been a lot of 45/100 building going on around here!

If there is a real 45/100 in good fixable shape you will probably have a fight on your hand to buy it if it goes on the open market :wink:
