Thanks, you should see some of the nice builds going on from some of the other guys it would blow your mind. I am busy getting my parts together for my next build a Trainwreck Rocket and then on to an Asteroid.
I have not decided if I am going to get one of Nik's Dumble style amps or not they are very tempting and priced very reasonable for Niks excellant work.

All I can say if you do you won't be sorry. I love my OTS.

But before you start make sure you know your way around inside an amp...
Learn how to check, measure voltage (plate,cathode, heater (B+1,B+2....), how to set bias, HOW TO DRAIN CAPS!!...
If you don't know what all that means, I would still suggest not to start with a build, until you learn more about it.

I just finished wiring the power board, which means I'm done. Well not quite yet. Must find some shielding cable to wire V1 tube socket. Can't wait to start up this baby... but I will have to wait a while.

It's not just the complexity of the build it self, it also the troubleshooting process if something goes wrong. You will need experience to do that. So starting with something small and upgrade to big and more complex, seems like a smart way to go.

OTS is definitely not for you. You should start with the Champ or 5E3, learn about how amps are working and then you can go for more complex build.

Man I'm having fun here... Did some more work, installed the trannys, and wire those up along with the power cable and I also wired power tube sockets (almost)
