Nice find!
Watch out as I see atleast 2 of those uninsulated jumpers just about touching each other!
What does it use for output tube(s)?

When I die, I want to go like my Grandfather did, peacefully in his sleep.
Not screaming like the passengers in his car!
Cutting out a man's tongue does not mean he’s a liar, but it does show that you fear the truth he might speak about you!

Hi Steve,
Yes noticed that. Haven’t opened her up yet. Uses 6l6 for output and gz32 recto and 2x ef40 (I think) for pre. Seems like there are only 2 electrolytic caps. The rest seem to be film ? Apparently the unit works. Will still be careful powering up (slowly)!

Nice and neat. As if Reeves made a point to point amp. Looks like there was a contest to use the minimum chassis space. I'd not squeeze a tube between that iron so tightly though.
Tube junkie that aspires to become a tri-state bidirectional buss driver.

I see what looks like 3 good size power supply node filters in there!
