Finished amp heads AC30/Trainwreck sty;e amp heads

Post by badtweed »

Finally got around to finishing the cabinetry work for these two identical amp heads of my own design.
Had a heart attack a year and a half back and pretty much stalled a lot of my projects but now am back in the garage getting work done.

Great work there. Very nicely designed, the whole package. And point to point -wow!
I see you've done this before. Congrats that you're back in good health and building again.

I really enjoyed your amp photos years ago and kept them on file so I could refer back to how nicely you built the pair.

I had 5 vessel coronary artery bypass graph in December 2012 and it's a slow process getting back. Glad your back at it again.

Unfortunately we have lost some great guys along the way.

Yes, very nice build, really. I'm glad you're able to build amps again. I'm afraid I will borrow your way of installing radial caps for the power supply, though :oops:
(It's just to great to ignore)

Looks awesome. Just beautiful. Wouldn't mind hearing them. The tube glow is pretty sexy too. 8)
