I said I would post some photos of my amp a while back, but I never did get around to it. Here's the link to the amp that a built myself a few years back:

It looks from the speaker like it can really carry the bass. Is it a prototype for a future production item?

Snazzy. What formula did you follow for your preamp and output stages? Mark

That looks really nice Chuck, does it sound like the Standel? Al

Rich,
The speaker is a JBL D-130, just like the orginal amps had. This is a one and only.

Mark,
It's just like the origninal 1954 model.

Al,
Sounds like it to me Al, basically what it is only built by me.

Chuck,
That amp looks fantastic! Great job. How did you go about getting your chassis' made for you?

Alex,
I bent the upper aluminum chassis with a press brake myself. The lower chassis was a standard "Bud box" and I bent the tube guards conected to each side myself. Painted and labeled them myself also.
