Preamp tubes from England should be here late next week.....

Genalex Power tubes should be here late next week......

Already have the rectifier tube......

Wow, sounds a little expensive (but I've paid thru the nose for tone, too ie. Philips mustards). Did you go with Alnico Blues or a reasonable facsimile thereof? Where'd you get the GECs from and how much? Mullard ECC83s? MMs output? Why did the chicken cross the road?

All that, and no headbox? ;)

What are you looking for in a box?

You know how the cabinet builders are......it'll be right when it arrives though.
