The JV14, a 14Watt 6CM6 joint venture built amp

[T-Rex]

So here is the final build thread for the 14watt joint venture amp build. The amp is electrically done on my end, ready to play. All that I have left after this afternoon is to stuff the chassis into the new head shell, then deliver this amp to David Hopkins to apply one of his mods.

I received the front/rear plates yesterday from Sandy at Precision Design, and mounted those today. Here are a few pics. There are a couple of slight changes from my earlier thread about the build starting. Also for those first time viewers, the pcb came from Headfirst. Pics below.

Beautiful work there, Mr T-Rex...

Have you fired it up yet and give it a good playthrough? I really would love to hear this one...

Looks great, Terry!

I drop off this amp to David Hopkins on Dec 15th to allow David to apply his mods to it. The plan is for David to record a clip of the amp as is before the mods, then of course the after clips

The amp is mounted in the head cabinet, which came from Mojotone (via TubeDepot). And I drilled out the rear panel mounting holes to accept the threaded inserts, so now the panel goes off/on by machine screw instead of a wood screw. And I have the first coat of black paint applied to the rear of the reverse engraved amp badge. After that gets another coat and dries, I'll take a final set of pics, then it goes into the packing box until I get to David's house.

Final photo before it goes into the cardboard box to travel north with us. Next stop is at David Hopkins on the 15th

How much did this cost?

 

[T-Rex]

All three plates and the artwork / first time layout fee, ran $153 total, including shipping. I actually got a second amp badge cut for that price too, so really 4 total plates for the price.

This amp is now at David’s house awaiting the mods. I did grab a quick sound clip of the amp stock, as David was trying it out to see what it sounds like. I’ll post the clip as soon as I can
