Vintage amp restoration and Beyond

[GoldenVulture]

I thought I'd try fitting the amp into the case after I had removed part of it to accomodate the valves. I discovered the new O.T. is taller than the old one. About 1/4" too much.
I solved the problem by remounting the O.T. from under the chassis. The hole at the mounting position was large enough to get the base plate through and attatch it to some other mounts I fitted. They came from some left over parts for a PC CPU cooling system. It had various bits to use depending on whether one was using an Intell or AMD CPU chip.

The amp fits in the head case now. I'm going to find and fit/make a metal mesh type of cover to go over the top of the valves.
