Example schematic
Eylet boards - on rigid material $20 extra
Base kit (chassis and transformers) $90
Board parts for example circuit- $30 with 1/4 watt resistors (where appropriate) $40 with 1/2 watters- If you get this the base kit and the board you will only need to supply pots/knobs - tubes (1 6l6 1 12ax7) - switches - jacks - fuseholder and line cord.

"This kit has a chassis that is easy to house. It mounts Marshall style with 4 skb rack nuts. The transformers are most suited for a single 6l6 single 12ax7 amp - so that is the example schemo- but you are free to play around with it since there is no pc board- the turret board will be very versitile as well. Other ideas include using a 6x4 rectifier with the amp- and the most obvious thing- an outboard reverb platform. I am taking submissions from anyone wanting to come up with housing designs for me to offer or provide. I've even built one as a stereo 6bq5 amp for the house."
