Hey guys

Well, the only wiring left to do is to connect a few grounds. I wanted to put a picture up to see how it's looking and to ask whether or not you see anything that stands out as a concern? I have three worries right now.

1) I put the tube sockets too far away from the board and lost room for the power transformer in the upper right corner (didn't realize how large the PT was). The notes say to get it as far away from the board as possible, and mine's plump next to it.

2) I soldered one wire to the 12ax7 sockets, then wrapped the other around it rather than twisting them both together. I thought this would make it easier to work with the oober difficult colth/solid wire I bought but now see that it didn't give them much contact.

3) There are just a lot of wires around the middle. The bright blue wires are my cut control.

Will any of these things be problems?

These are the trinity transformers, btw.

I built my first 15 with the PT closer than that one so I think you should be OK. I'd like to see the cut control on the front, but see if you get any noise pickup from those wires like that as is. Grid twisted wires look good.

Clean enough, give it a try & let us know how it turns out.

Late to the party, but my suggestions...

1. Put the cut on the front.

2. I can't tell by the angle, but on the heater wires, if they are suspended, try to lay them down on the chassis. I think anything you can do to help shield is a good thing. Then again, if the amp isn't noisy, I guess it doesnt' matter,then.

3. Try and get some space around that cathode resistor. (the white cement one). Those puppies get hot. Let them breathe.

4. I'd not worry about the PT. Have you seen the inside of a JTM45? Close quarters for sure.
