Bottom holes drilled sans the cord hole, I might try to pinch an IEC plug in the corner. I'm not going to drill the top holes until I get the faceplate in hand as Murphy's Law can be cruel.

Mike did you get this amp finished?

Mike did you get this amp finished?

Not yet Tom, quick out the gate and slow on the big end....lol. I'm waiting on Heyboer PT to show up along with my 5C3 style faceplate. I started to drill the faceplate holes in the chassis, but decided I should wait until I get the faceplate in hand. Other than that, I have everything to get it done minus a cabinet. I think I'm going go with a TV front cabinet.

Hi Mike

As usual great looking work.

I can't tell from the photo, did you use rivets for the sockets?

Thanks dreric, no just my usual perferred method, s/s 4-40 cap screws.

Picked up my chassis from the machine shop today. This sure beats drilling those holes with a step bit. Also I had them remove the alternative mounting flange and bevel that edge.

Back in the game baby!

Line AC: 122.8 VAC

V1 filament V: 6.47 VAC

V1: 171.8, 174.9

V2: 206.1, 265.2,48.4 cathode

V3 & V4: 401 plates, 363 screens, 22.45 cathode

FWIW, PT is 326.5-0-326.5 but HT current rating was setup to run both 6V6 and 5881.Thus PT is not loaded as heavy as the stock type units.
