So I have an old Peavey Audition 20 that has more or less bitten the dust. I don't know what's wrong with it, all that comes out is noise. Anyway, so I'm thinking of getting into diy tube amp building and have settled on a simple Fender Champ clone to start out with. To save a little money, I plan on gutting the chassis on my Audition 20 and using that as my chassis. I'll save the speaker and case and hopefully be able to fit the new amp in there. I'll have to make sure the speaker isn't in the way of the tubes when I put it back together but that's my plan A anyway. So my question is, is there anything I should salvage from the amp before I chuck the innards? I'll see if I can't save the pots and input, maybe the pilot light. I'm sure it's probably not worth saving any resistors and capacitors and wouldn't have any use for the transistors.
Is anything salvagable?

Re: Is anything salvagable?
If it doesn't take up much room, just keep it around until your project is finished. It is hard to know if there is anything you might need. I would think most of the components of the Peavey are soldered directly to the PC board, but I haven't been inside one for awhile.
