Goes into my mad money account...lol

Keep the transformers Herb. They cost more every year.

They were actually pretty costly at the time.... Late 70's. I was building it from a schematic I had obtained of the Marshall 50w head. It was actually pretty crystal and loud but for a number of reasons.... especially that it was built all out in the open and was highly dangerous.... and, the fact that I didn't use 6L6s and had a hard time getting the grid bias to stay stable..... I disassembled it and put it into a box when I bought an amp that wasn't as dangerous.
