I couldn't find one of these on here already, so how about it? Anyone got amp guts pics? I'll start with the venerable 5F1.

Does it have to be a production amp?

Here's a Heathkit tube audio amp converted to guitar duty in a PR repro chassis.

Started off like this. I would have kept it like this but my customer wanted it in a regular guitar amp chassis.

Next, a Sundown amp's clean channel converted to tagboard due to a buggered PCB.

Nope. Glad to see we're getting started with tube non-PCB stuff. Here's another: Dr. Z Carmen Ghia.
