My Father had built a Knight Tube Amp HiFi kit prior to me being born. That was my introduction to the rich sounds that can eminate from a vacuum tubes. Growing up my friend Larry and I were addicted to our Radio-Shack 100-in-1 electronics kits. From there I progressed to build many electronic kits and guitar effects pedals. In College I studied electronics, computers, robotics and became an electronics technician for Nortel (13 years). I've always wanted to build a tube amp, and after getting in touch with my childhood friend Larry, that seed was replanted.
Last night I had cutout the front cover and the back cover for the head. Both were pretty involved. Tonight I was able to add the Tolex to the back cover plate. I still need to dress it up a bit by adding a grill, screws and a few Tolex touch-ups.
