And here's the monster. I was going to paint it a modern orange but for various reasons it ended up looking way more industrial than I'd envisioned. Then I stumbled upon some green hammertone paint and ended up using that, so now it looks like vintage shop equipment (or a 1930s cinema amp). Tube complement is all Raytheon NOS JAN 5842s and EZ81. It sounds very good. Finally get to listen to more music at night with computers off.
