Very nice, soulmerchant. Can you give us any tips on how you cut the holes for the panels? It's a great result.
First marked them on the plate (print-out on thin paper carfefully taped to the plate before tapping the drill points.
Then with a very small bit as exactly as possible I drilled pilot holes.
Then I used a stepped drill bit, making sure it was well lubricated.
You might notice that the only visible screws are in the corners. All tubes are counter-sunk to the underlying plate, which need not be so pretty 🙂
btw I cheated on the knobs. they're audio-note or something..
Mains transformer cover is from Thomas Mayer as well... 😉
I used front panel designer to create the top plate file and printed it out to actual size.

Thank you for the info! I might have to try this on a future amp to hide screws. Not that I can afford Tangos 🙂

Motor Start Capacitors are rated for intermittent duty ONLY. Always use Motor Run Caps.

Sorry no thread here on this build.
