    nice one Doc, you must have a fair bit of knowledge to attempt mods to an amp head.
    If you have any queries you could always ask Lozza (Lawry) has a very good knowledge of amps circuitry.

    It's actually not a mod, it's a complete scratch build, I made the chassis myself from a piece of 2mm thick sheet Aluminium which I marked out and then cut off the excess material with a jigsaw with metal cutting blades, I got a local Kununurra Engineering company to Mig-Weld each of the corners for me after they bent the metal up in their metal-bending machine, the wooden cabinet was made from half-inch plywood covered in green pool table felt I bought from an upholsterer, the clear front panel is just some clear Perspex, I made the power transformer from a power transformer I salvaged from an old movie projector if my memory serves me right.


    Cheers for that, I'll definitely have a yarn to Lozza when I get the chance to mate.
