Cool, I still have my D'lite 44.

But right now I am working on back taxes that the infernal revenue service is pestering me about.

Just finished my first complete scratch build a Fowler 18Watt Rocket and it's nice.

But I already started to build it's big brother, a KT66 Rocket. Once you get started you just can't stop!!
In theory, theory is the same as practice. In practice it's different.

Just wrapped an 18-watt build, which I named Element 79. Head cab already built, just need to glue tolex. Faceplate to arrive next week. It will hit 112F today; gotta get out in the garage some time around 5am to paint the glue on…

This one is for a client. It was rescued from a previous builder who, to put it politely, botched the build. A few parts were rescued but the stock boards had to be scrapped and remade. It got new signal and power supply caps, etc.

Working on the cab for the 5B6 I just finished, and doing some minor tweaking on the Princeton I finished a few months ago.
Gonna get back on track (think Dumble and Trainwreck) and start laying out and gathering parts for a #102. Really excited about that!

I'm going to try and stuff this into a blank 6.5x12.5x2" chassis. I'm also going to try a dual sided turret board with some filter caps under the board. So far I have the tube sockets figured out and most of the board layout.

Unfortunately - my living room floor and garage roof. My bench is gathering dust. :( Ah well, all in due time.

Brought this little am/fm tube radio back to life. Always my preference over gutting when possible! The little speaker and 6aq5 put out a loud few watts!

This is a 1959 I delivered to a pro player in town today. Sounds great and I love how the cab came out (from speakercabs.com). Glad I finally had an excuse to build a real Marshall (although I used my own grounding scheme). That's not me in the background btw!

Also just repaired the output section of a Fender Passport. Blech! That was a nightmare..

that's great, all fingers crossed here so that the couriers don't remodel it.
Did you decide to keep the HH speaker or did you leave it in England?

I'm in bed fighting a bug, killing time by learning how to drive properly on youtube videos of Russian driving.
