Test fitting the hardware into the chassis

Transformers and valve sockets have been temporarily mounted into the chassis to get a feel for the wire routing and fly-lead lengths before I start to cut and solder. I will also have to drill some additional holes  to mount the circuit boards so wanted to mark these out.

Outside of chassis. (Clockwise L to R: reverb driver, filter capacitor board, output transformer, choke, power transformer, 8-pin rectifier and output valve sockets, preamp valve sockets)

Inside of chassis. Main eyelet board and bias supply board placed to check wiring distances and to mark holes to be drilled. Valve pins are numbered to help my ageing eyesight!

My "advisory team" at AGGH have made me promise to remove everything before I start drilling any more holes in the chassis as stray pieces of metal cuttings have a habit of finding their way into and across components causing havoc. Good advice.
