An update on the cost tally. I realised I left off the transformers before, which is a huge chunk of the cost!

$120 for the chassis
$41 for wire and resistors
$80 for capacitors
$47 for turret board, stand offs, assorted hardware, and an iec socket
$163 for tubes
$200 OT
$90 PT
$30 for timber for the head
$60 for tolex
$40 for handles, feet and corners

$871 Total

I didn't include the cost of faceplates because I actually can't remember how much they were, but say another $50 or so. The next build I'll get a chassis that comes with faceplates so it's one less thing to think about.

Also didn't include the cost of the variac, etc (because tools don't count!) and didn't include the satisfaction of the build (because it's priceless!)
