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

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.

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.
