My first amp build...

So I've been working on pedals and guitar electronics for a few years now. About s year ago I got into doing some light repairs on amp, including basic troubleshooting and biasing etc....

Over the summer I picked up a Weber 6S100 kit when they ran a sale on them. I finally got all the ancillary parts together and started wiring it today.

It's not much, but I got the filaments all connected. I used 20gauge solid core PTFE coated wire. This will be the main type of wire I use, since I use it in my pedals.

After some initial issues, the bias pots had to be changed, along with the output jacks and OHM selector.

I finally got around to buiding the headshell in the last couple week;

I used two layers of 1/2" birch ply. I doweled the ends and glued it.

After routing and sanding, I cut out for all the hardware.

And test fit before tolex.

Looks really nice! I still wanna hear this puppy when she's up! I've been slaving endlessly on my recording studio\Track-Rehearsal rooms. I know how that "Are we there yet" thing goes.
