Really nice clean work. Looks good!

It may just be the angle and lighting of your pictures, but it seems the chassis hole through which the OT secondary leads pass is missing a grommet.
If so, might be worth adding one.

Firstly.. that looks fantastic!

Ok, where do I get that board material? I have a Marshall project waiting 2 decades and the only thing stopping it is board material that doesn't look like a clown dumped a cartoon in my amp. :)

Nice, tidy work. What's going on with the negative feedback? Purple coupled to yellow under the board?

I also see the missing grommet. Are there other missing grommets under the PS Board?

It looks great.

The clean ,OCD wiring is way to perfect to pass off as a TW :lol:

No need for a gourmet IMO just sand the edges down smooth.

You have to be careful with phenolic board material it can be conductive.

The earthing on this amp a bit different, I have wondered how Trainwreck amps make a good earth connection with the wooden front panel.
