Losing post somewhere when the pictures are too big. Here's the latest on the project, 45 amp in a Stereomour dress. Got alot finished but it's not complete, theres some imbalance between the channels and I need to track down and eliminate some hum.
Some things left to do: replace the chokes with BCP-15's, new power resistors of the correct value, possibly a fan underneath (this amp runs hot, touchable but definitely warm), oil caps to replace the big Sprague ones in the power supply, clean up the chassis some and find some vintage knobs, maybe upgrade the Solen's to Obliggatos, maybe replace the power transformer, maybe a Nixie tube indicator or as a meter.
It has about 40 hours on it, I'm reserving sonic judgement until it's over 100.
Here's some pics, please forgive the wiring mess, I starts out neat in my head then ends up like my desk...
