The handle screws hold the rest of the chassis in place

[/quote]Contrary to popular belief, we do know about tape measures in Africa :P I'll measure it tonight and make a little drawing for you.[/quote] Thanks man!! I almost forgot a important question. Whats the size of the cleat/ front baffle/ frame support. Width and depth. It might be hard to get an ...

Im thinkin the ht 40 uses a sag resistor on the vintage channel to simulate the sag of a tube rectifier. Just a hunch, might be wrong.

If their is enough taps on the power transformer it probably wouldnt be that difficult to do.

Hey Man nice rig. I actually built the lite version of that. One channel with tone, vol thats all. Im going to build a clone of the 2061cx 2x12 cab with diffrent tolex/grillcloth. I need help with the cab size. I know the bottom is 12 inches. Whats the top slant? 9inches? I know your in africa but a...

zibolt- Switch valve 1 with valve 2. If your clean channel sounds fine that tube will be good enough to determine if the gain channel tube is dead. My experience with valve changes is the tone change is minimal but they do help. Dont get JJ ecc83, they suck, very lifeless/dull sounding tubes. Speake...

zibolt- Yes you are correct the hts are hybird amps. The ht-1 all the way up the line to the ht100. My understanding is the front end of the preamp is all solid state untill it reaches the last part of the pre amp signal chain.. one ecc83 . A bunch of zener diodes and op amps in the drive channels i...

If I was you id do it in a heart beat. Based off of me experience with the 45 I loved it. Simular to venue but more rich/better sounding all the way around as one would guess. Extra valve gain in my opinion showes up my ht40. Better components , birch ply, better speakers. I forgot what blackstar sa...

Been a bit lazy on finishing this thing. Rounded over the edges a while ago and thought id share. It really makes a huge difference compared to my last pics. I got the tolex but I just havent had the ambition to finish it yet. The tolex is practically the same kind as OE. Its sold as Mesa/gibson OE ...

Finland and Russian birtch is grown in a different colder climate than USA that allows for the tree to grow with less knots in the wood. So their will be less possible voids and it should be better sounding with minamel dense knots in it. Im very happy with the Russian birtch I got at woodcraft.com ...

Good Info but you forgot mention connecting the speaker during the procedure.
Id hate for someone to mess up their amp
