Right.... I've built the guitar, now for the amp.
Aided and abetted by my good friend Amanda who has built a spanking clone of this amp which I have used on many occasions....
I'm building one.

I got the circuit diagram.( Amanda... mwah mwah. )
I got the HT and output transformers.
I'm enroute to getting the cab and chassis dimensions ( anything you want for crimbo Mand ? )
Questions;
What would be a good 10 "speaker to use ? ( I'm not not going to 12" and I'm not spending a lot of of money so don't deviate too much! )
More sensibly..... I want a good nameplate for the front, shiny chrome,and definitely not Fender.

I want a car manufacturer's name, like Ford or Renault or summat this time.
i suppose Rolls Royce would be perfection but me being me, I want something like ...... Trabant.
Anyone any ideas where to get a suitable chrome nameplate to stick on the front of this magnificent new amp I'm building ?
Yours,
Arthur.

Why not Vauxhall ? (reminder of Vox amps and Hall effect

Have a look at this one http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/260854742165?ru=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%3A80%2Fsch%2Fi.html%3F_from%3DR40%26_trksid%3Dp3692.m570.l1313%26_nkw%3D260854742165%26_sacat%3DSee-All-Categories%26_fvi%3D1&_rdc=1

If you must use a 10" speaker ecca, it's got to be the "Rajin Cajun"

This amp gets so much better with a 12" speaker I use a Celestion neo vintage in mine

Mine is in a lacquered vintage style tweed cab but so far I've been unable to think of a suitably fitting name. Its provisionally called DC 18 as it seems the GM o/put valves put out around 18w

Good luck with the build

Forgot to add the local guy who does keys & engraving at Durham market also does nameplates etc...

Have a look at the local shoe repair stalls as they all seem to do signs these days
