It worked for me when I posted it. Had to edit it because my 1st attempt failed. Maybe you were browsing right after my 1st attempt.
Got the board all done with wiring too.

Had to get a new tip for my gun, broke in two. Lucky I was able to get another for pot soldering. Had to touch up what my 25w was having a time with.

Don't have much more to do, hookup PT and OT, drill cabinet install power cord, test.

First time is a charm! Just got done playing for an hour thru my Avatar cab. Got all the innards done and cord and plugged into the lightbulb limiter 1st with no tubes then with rectifier and finally all tubes. The chassis sat on my desk. I love it, works above my expectations. No problems at all and absolutely hum free. Can't wait to get it in cab with the correct speaker. It is loud too!

Ran the LP, Tele and acoustic thru it, all sounded good.
