Will update thread with some more shots, editing now ? As usual with my threads, click the picture for a larger image (2x the size).

MikeM wrote I am a real freak. This amp is almost 5 years old, and I'd like it to be as period correct as I can get it.

50 YEARS OLD.. ?

Mike, from where I'm sitting everything looks fine to me. What makes you think the trannies are not original ? You could check the date codes on the trannies, especially on the OT...unfortunately I do not have data on that.
I've tried to get some more pics of that period Tremolux trannies but in vain for now. Also the soldering around the resistors in question looks about the same age as that in the rest ? ......Would not have sleepness nights over those to be honest.

EDIT: Try and link it up to a 4 ohm cab asap

Bah Vic, quoting my message before I editted it ?

The backplate and the tube sheet thing both say it's a 117v amp. So had my doubts about that, although it looked decent. The OT is quite obviously new though..

I just found it odd that 2 carbon films and some other random were put in with the rest of the carbon comps. Silly factory workers of 1963!!
