burnt out and old.

long ago, my ol friend neal bought this old traynor off a friend of a friend... it needed some work.. long story short, i said i would fix it. i put it on the back burner for a long time. until now...
you think you have problems? think again. this guy had a blown out put transformer, blown out caps... something went so wrong that the fiberboard had a hole burnt through it...

so... i guess its time to build him a 50 watt orange with what parts are salvageable.
so here goes.


this is the chassis prior to me starting, i should have taken better pics of the damage. but i didn't

and here it is again. with a new fiberboard fitted.... thats right. hand punched... and a new bus bar. i use a star grounding system. and the old traynors use many grounding locations.
