That looks like a nice build. Killer cab to boot.
RJ's chassis and board by the looks of it. I am sure it sounds as good as it looks.

I would draw your attention to the power tubes cathode setup. The cap is seated directly over the resistor which is not ideal. It might be well spaced off the resistor but it is hard to tell. You might want to consider moving it to one side which will reduce the heat load on the capacitor and likely prolong its life.
Check the layout in the files section if it is not clear.

that is my build
the cap is spaced above the resistor but when the chassis is upright it is under the resistor while the resistor in turn is mounted against the
chassis
I figured heat rises so it would go up into the chassis and away
from the cap

right ???

Dan.

No offense meant here. Thats a great build as I said.

none taken,
but I did give this location a bit of thought

here is the cap in question

I managed a few grommets , turns out wasn't all that easy

and I labeled the back what do you think ?

so I ran into something unsual , maybe you guys can take a guess as to what's up . The jack it's in here is loud and clear , but the jack next to it is almost no output and kinda fuzzy when turned up . What do you think ?

do not use the second jack unless you are using the first jack
the first jack is a shorting jack the second jack is non shorting

Thanks Dan , good to know ! Cheers

Kinda looks like my Distortions cab

I so wish I could find wood like that....

Hey Mark - please stop posting pics of that cab.
I'll spend the rest of today walking around with a boner & my tongue hanging out...

[Tone Lover]

and I thought I was the only one that got a boner lookin at that cab

I have a vintage dymo label gun and red tape if you want the TW correct rear labels in "Red Rocket".

PM me

Mark that cab is a stunner!!!Im working on a maple today.I hope 2 number 10 biscuits per 45 corner is enough.What I really like to know is how to get a finish like that.My wood does not have anywhere near that figure.NICE!!!Mikey

That is a stunning piece of work !

it does look like your work , the way the front tapers down to the controls and the corner seam , though Dan said it was " Larry Mann aka Distortion" , hmm...
