Finally got around to putting together the 'Kap'n' 5E3 project - nice one Kap - just fits's in standard 5E3 size chassis (undrilled) - it's doin' 21W just before clipping - may put channel combining switch - tried loads of different 6L6's but got max power out of some old Shuguang coke bottles (they're not GC's as printed on the envelope - closer to Kap's spec of GB's) - tried some mil spec 5881's, a new pr of Winged C GC's, virtually everything I had lying around - can't seem to get my hands on any decent NOS 5AR4's (they're fetching stupid money on fleabay) so I tried new production Sovtek and JJ's - the Sovvies won that argument - tried loads of bottles in V1 - JAN Philips 12AT7 had slightly sweeter top end than a Mullard CV4024 but they were the best out of what I had - a bog standard Tung-Sol 12AX7 in the PI works fine - I've been searching for some nice faceplate material but haven't been able to source the colors I want (brown/cream plastic for engraving) - cabinets are next thing to organise - but yer - this thing does tweed very nicely and sings like a bird...
