I have a good start on it & just had to show it off. I should be firing her up soon. I used can caps to keep from glueing caps in my amp. I am also installing a triode switch. I was going to include a cathode bias option but decided against it. I did install a cut control & left off the bright switch as I have never liked them.

How did you do such fine lettering on the faceplate?

Looks GREAT, inside and out

I hope your start-up goes well

Boy, those can caps really open up some space in the chassis

I used a set of cheap stamping tools from Harbor Freight. I then darkened it with a pencil before the clear.

I thought I recognized that

I used a set of those on my aluminum face plate. Everybody needs a set of those

They have a smaller size, as well, in case you want to use large caps/small caps
