- square body cause I dint want a plastic 4x4
K-5, the amp should be there tomorrow or the next day. Before powering it up, if you comfortable doing it, take off the faceplate and make sure the four (two on either side of each meter) hold down screw clamps are still in place. If the come loose they can cause major problems. I don't glue them down cause I'm always moving stuff around. Also, I don't use a metal retaining bracket on the bulk capacitors on the left side of the photo because it interferes with the bridge rectifier wiring. Also looks much better 
. Instead I hot glue the capacitors down. Make sure they are still solidly held.
Finally and most importantly, there are hideously dangerous voltages in the amp. Button it up before you power it up. Also, be kind to your ears. I expect they are even more important to you than most of us!

Me either!!!
On a side note, just dug 3 vehicles out (our Pathfinder, the rental and Makala's Ford F150, shoveled 100lb per shovel full snow full of water, snowblower died so Jake and I went at it
I feel like an old motherfucker right now, stupid winded, feels like my heart is going to blow through my chest
This is the weirdest storm I have seen in years, foot of snow and then it rained on it for a couple hours, still raining on the shit

K-5, DO NOT LET SOMEONE WHO KNOWS NOTHING ABOUT THESE AMPS TOUCH FRED'S AMP
Unloosen the nuts ON THE BACKSIDE OF THE PLATE
Carefully lower the plate forward so you do not pull the light board wires out
You will see if the meters are loose, if so, get on the board or call one of us. If they are not, bolt the faceplate back up and tighten from the back using a box wrench to hold the bolt on the front

Charlotte shows delivered and signed for by Lisa Brake.
A little background on Charlotte. I bought her off eBay in early 2014 for parts or not working. The seller said he tried to power her up but she started sparking and smoking and then blew a fuse. When she arrived I found auto fuses in the AGX fuse holders. You’d be surprised how often stupid stuff like that happens. She also was covered in cigarette tar outside and smelled terrible. Opened her up and the inside was a mess. Dirty, burned, and also smelling of cigarette smoke. Otherwise she was in pretty good cosmetic condition, other than a scratch at the top of the faceplate. OK, some work to do. We start a WOPL conversion of an amp in this bad a condition with a “bare metal†rebuild. See photo of Charlotte after I gutted her.
