Pic of amp in amp section now
yes yes Mr Valve just spotted it

bloody lovely, i need to get one , one day very nice!
It has taken 25 years to find the amp for me, Shaka's amp and sound of the way he used to play (before he moved to transistors) it was the inspiration. I also appreciate the history of the builder and the original owner. I love the mechanical look of it and the blue pulse of the bottles in the dark...
Freedom of choice, choice of freedom.

Looks nice; thanks for sharing an inside shot!

What is your preferred method of mounting the driver from the inside? I see that you used screws and mounting brackets, but how did you secure these to make sure the screws weren't protruding through the front of the cabinet? I've thought of a few ideas but haven't tried any yet, so I'd be interested to any suggestions you'd be willing to offer.

1. Stain/Varnish is Ronseal , Quick dry one, comes out lovely tbh..water based....

2. bro i used just smaller lenghth tbh, works well and wont fall out trust me bee doing it for years bro,

also too add, this box has only a single front baffle, some build ive built are double front baffle, so then you can use wood-inserts 6mm/8mm sandwiched between the 2 baffles, 

self leveling too inserts so that fit totaly flush angainst the baffle...

also its not a really beast of a heavy driver iether so it will hold up well, very inefficient loud speaker , and the freq i intend to use it , work well

hope that helps a little

cheers

another little project too

Blimey, looks like you're running out of space. Boxes taking over! Pretty soon you'll need to move out and leave the house to the sound system
