thanks guys...i had someone build the head for me ( I supplied the maple) and I finished it up w/ dye and lacquer....it has a lot of goof ups on closer inspection but can't complain at all .....only thing left is a choice of the faceplate and knobs ( was thinking of ebony or cherry w/ chicken head knobs )

Well it's just an awesome cab!. You might have a little clearance problem with the Chicken heads as the pots might be to close together to use them.

will post some gutshots when i open the amp again......it is always under constant improvement....one more thing I need to do is change the filter caps to mallorys from the original ceriatone caps....I know it is anal, but what the heck .....using w/ either an older marshall 4-12 w/ g1265s or an avatar 2-12 w/ scumback m75s
