Dang that looks like a pain in the arse! Beautiful job. That looks like it would be a bitch just to retube.

I had a DST combo that was superb......& Jeff's cabinet work is PRIMO !!! (he did my Celtic head & retolex on the cab )

Nice read....it would be sweet to grab an old beater on the cheap & to have the know-how to be able to take your time & rebuild it to like new specs :bigok:

I think we have Phase inverters, rectifiers, drivers etc there also. So the cork-sniffing is not too extensive!

I like Jeff's work a lot. I'd like to use him more often, but he's in such demand on the cab stuff that his rates are significantly higher than I can budget. (or I just let the buyer contract him directly like Terry did and just build the chassis)

His cherry bandmaster reverb sized head that he did for Evan remains the most beautiful piece of amp wood I've ever seen.

I am a moron when it comes to electronics, but, is Vox desing in general far more complex than Marshall, Laney, Hiwatt, Orange?
