So What is a Man to do . . . .

Not my best work it is a amp I was given false information on. I had to design it from scratch It sounds like a Marshall Major with reverb and preamp boost.
Then the guy never paid me I got scammed. Good luck I have the real information on the amp now. I have no desire to build the real deal.
My next build should be my last. It will be my masterpiece. Searching the world for parts now. Beware amp design and building I call it amp crack additive as anything.

If there are parts you have problems finding let me know, I have a pot full of links and resources. There are several online dealers that are within 5-6 miles of me. Will be more than willing to assist if you need.
 
This next Build I want to use Piher 1 watt resistors from the 1960's I found the values the shipping is more than the resistors with shipping $10.00 each.
The other option is 1 watt Talkman carbon film resistors I have never used this brand $3.00 each with shipping.
I need 26 total I need to do a recount.
I almost pulled the trigger on the Piher's today.
Thank you for the kindness
 
I truly admire the wealth of knowledge and experience you guys have.
I have a good basic understanding of tube operation and some amp stage circuits, but I am a child among men.
 
OK I took a break from amp building today because I could not function with my workbench. I was just totally running over with mess.
I cleaned it up. Not to worry though, so as I start working on it again, it will get trashed again.

Got to work on my amp some this weekend. The shoulder is healing nicely. I have to give props to the builders of the old Fender amps. It is not easy. I have repaired them from many years but this is my first complete build. With luck I will install the turret board this week.

Plus I am reassembling a tele I built several years ago back in J'ville with a piezo bridge.
 
OK, it 5:18 pm local time, the Temp outside is 97, and in my south facing garage it is 101. How the hell am I suppose to finish this amp build.
I am hoping the weather man is right about the temps dropping this weekend to the low 80's.
Geezzzzz
