Thanks- the finish is Minwax dark walnut, then coated with maybe half dozen coats of semi gloss poly. I also have another base- Sedona red

I was toying with the idea of replacing the stock 100uf output caps, which are already bypassed with Russian teflons. Decided not to put the money into it (I'm already about $700 into this Crack) and decided that maybe another amp is in the future- maybe a SEX, so I figured the money is best directed their. Plus, as you note, it's already stuffed.
