Repost from Tubes Forum: At least for the most part. A few tweaks here and there but it plays music and that's good for my first scratch build. Went for junkyard industrial on the look A big thanks to Norris for all the help he's provided over the last two years. I think we are friends because we are both the quintissential procrastinators!!!! You can see the schematic and more pics here:

That's awesome, Shane. Looks like a great job! I like the way you ran your wires, nice and clean. Bet it helps with hum reduction too.Hey, remember that Nelson Audio amp that UPS dropped about 3 years ago? Did I ever tell you what happened to that after you shipped it back to me? I guess UPS paid the claim to Frank, and you and he settled. But the broken amp just sat there. UPS never collected it. This weekend, I got tired of having it around collectimng dust so I opened it up to see what the matter was. Three large power resistors were poofed and on closer examination, I saw that some hand-wired parts in the power supply had shifted from the impact and were touching. That caused I high current short. So I moved those components, replaced the power resistors and the cracked tube. Works like a charm! So I decided to touch up the paint where impact scratched it and even swapped the electrolytics for cerafines. It now has a second life!

Not a big deal, but I changed from switch both the hot and neutral to just switching the hot leg. The pics don't reflect this as I forgot to ake some while I hade the cover off making the change.

Maybe we can work out a "deal" with the amp ![](http://www.audioroundtable.com/emoticons/smiley.gif) I emailed Norris last night and I think he would be interested in helping. I believe we would both like to get details to see what we're up against before we commit. I know one of the first things is going to be to get a list of all the other shows and their dates so we can work that out once and for all.
