8-Pin Octal Power Tube
9-Pin 12AX7 Pre-amp
275-0-275 Hammond PT
Chinese 5K;8 Ohm SE PT
10Watt Hohner solid state amp from EBay for around $30- used the CTS ceramic 10" speaker.
Built the eyelet board from scratch
Bent up the Aluminum Chassis at home.
Total estimated costs ~$130. Not counting the 200 hours of labor!!!
Results: I really like the snarl on this one. It sounds 'happier' when I plug it into a couple of better 10" speakers in my 18W though. I've tried a KT66, 6L6's, an EL34 and a 6V6 tube in here. The 6V6 is sweetest & probably my favorite. I can't really see much difference in volume with it. The EL34 isn't too shabby either although it really draws heater current and I fear for the PT after about 30 minutes.
This thing nails that early Joe Walsh "Funk 49" sound. Everybody should have at least 1 of these!
