    the original speaker was 5 ohms, can't see a prob plugging it into an 8ohm except a little volume loss and I've never had it any where near max volume as it was. The only valve is allegedly on the pre-amp side, although it's probably just there to light up and look all retro LOL

    Yep, I reckon it should work with no major problems, the 8 Ohm Speaker is going to present a lighter load to the amp than that 5 Ohm speaker would, the amp may even run a bit cooler as a consequence, you may not notice much of a drop in volume if the 8 Ohm speaker is an efficient one, you might notice a better overall sound though.

    to answer Chuck, it's left over ply top, bottom. front and back, and some pine on the sides. All scrap from other projects.
