 pre drilled chassis , spraypainted matt white as requested by capten dol 'air'.

 heater and power supply wired first.
 close pic from the back

 copper bus for easy grounding ,combine from left to  right channel.
 complete wiring  ,all signal line is shielded to avoid hum,
amp complete built on nov2010 , with extra preamp stages for phono signal level.
4 x 12ax7 ,2 x el34 in triode mode,
el34 plate Voltage- 304v both left and right.

 el34 (right) current draw -73mA
el34 (left) current draw -80mA
bias point sit exactly at 300V 80mA  , which is max for the plate dissiption.
