Ok So here’s the finished chassis…. Everything works but…

When I wired up the AC for the power transformer i had the live wire where the neutral wire should’ve been and the neutral wire where the live wire should’ve been.  So i kept blowing fuses….   Then… I had a loose plate wire on V3…. which caused the tube to blow when i fired her up…   I fixed both of those wiring issue and now the amp stays on just fine.  I’m getting sound, but it’s not that pretty… gotta buy new power tubes… stinks… but at least so far it’s working…

The Head cabinet is about 75% Finished now… Got to get Greg to cut my front piece for me… Because apparently I don’t know how to use a jig saw…
