Width of cutout for chassis should be 0.25" wider than chassis for a snug fit, or +0.3125" for some breathing room.

Just because an outside power line runs close does not suggest noise or poor AC from utility. A scope would be userful for examining the AC.

To answer second question, Spark amps from positivegrid.com are pretty cool practice amps.

Done.

Wild! Thanks for posting!

Sounds correct. Typically, the bulb will get bright right at power up, as the reservoir filter fills, then it should fade.

Haw! You think building amps can make you rich! Ah haw haw---erhm.

@frusciante89 : I sent you an email yesterday. Ran into trouble with this PCB. Hope you have your ears on!

I got this one as a compact backup meter, and it quickly became my #1:

I'm reusing the DV Mark chassis and iron, along with the Marshall PCB from Andrea to build out a "plexi".

Space constraints mean I have to lay the preamp tubes down, and fab a riser for the power tubes.

Welcome to TAG. You didn't mention whether you tested (or replaced) the 1K/5W screen resistors and 5K5 grid resistors, which are normally socket-mounted.

When I have tried stapling piping, my stapler wants to push the piping out of place. In other words, I can't shoot staples close enough to the piping to avoid pushing it out of place as I staple. Advice?

Loss of connection from tone stack to ground? PAB engaged?

Abstinence makes the fart grow stronger?

Anyway, yeah, building a one-off amp from a recipe is only the first step! There will always be tweaking after the build is completed, whether to meet the tastes of the builder or the client.

I got a good laugh because some of their photos are clearly off-the-shelf fuses with colorful stickers wrapped around them. Nice markup!

OMG, how I would LOVE to skip wiring the heaters.
