Speakers were a pair of 30w Etones which seemed to be the speaker of choice with the Oz amp manufacturers at the time, my 150w Lenard had 8 of them

I've been thinking of building a 5f3 clone or one of the 18 watt Marshall clones over on 18watt.com.

Cool, I'm not sure if I've ever heard of 808 Valves, let alone seen any, but I'm guessing that they were probably similar to the EL84 Valves, a good friend of mine, who's a Luthier, is in the process of having a 5F3 built for him by someone, the 5F3 is another one of those classic Fender amps.
