Was just too heavy and ended up not being used. I found the original case recently and serviced the amp. It is running well with all the original capacitors (even though they are all supposedly too old they are not leaking! and hold charge well, it hardly hums at all). The original mod I had made was to strip out the Klipp circuit and make it into a basic Marshal Plexi style amp and change the EL34 screen resistors from 470R to 1K as the 600V plate voltage is a bit cruel on the tubes. All back together and she is one loud amplifier sounding sweet to my ears!
