Looks pretty damn good to me! I don't think I'd have the patience for doing that .

hey frenchie,

is this your first build? In some ways I get the feel from you it is, then agian it seems your looking at specific things that maybe a new builder might not.
Where are you getting your parts list and specs from if I may ask?

hey ....yes it's my first build but i studied a lot of shematics layouts and photos ...and i've got a third degree in mathematics so .....i cannot be totally wrong ....also my local hifi dealer is an old boy who know a lot about vacuum tubes as i gave him services he will help me in the end of the project ....to ensure you i will not die by touching any filled cap ....the part list is one i made looking all the photos of historic examples i could find ...so don't worry it'll be all fine ....

ps: in europe mustards are soooooo easy to find you cannot imagine !! if this is what you meant !!

no problem ..but i will take my time ...i haven't got yet all the components ...no more cash too for the moment ...and when i order from france american parts taxes are sooo huge sometimes ...astonishing...when de dollar had decreased i previoulsly thing this was the best time to buy parts ....but whith the taxes in fact it wasn't

ok ,so , i began yesterday to polish the chassis (not finished yet as you can see) , i finished to drill the front holes , finished to rework the plexi panel ...And in the photo you can see that i tried to install the pilot light and a pot to see how things line up without gluing anything ..smells good !!

George is working on a basic chassis/trannie/board kit for the JTM 100 so we may get some nice chassis panels coming soon plus add-on decals. Theres a thread in the Metroamp section in the stickies.

Any ideas about the price just for a rear panel wicksy ? and when they will be available ?

Wicksy · Post by **Wicksy** » Sat Feb 23, 2008 4:49 pm

PM neikeel, i believe he has a spare. Be quick though.... As for George's panels, we'll have to wait until they're in. George is getting a batch of 50 in so once pre-orders are filled we can get singular parts. Best to check the thread and ask though
