Yep, if you think that's a real issue. Was overcome on all 3 of my WOPLs. All three had alignment issues with that bottom right output. Used a drill bit on my two 400s and a tapered reamer on the Pro. Really not a big issue to me. I'm partial to the original chassis. The Pro had the typical bends beside the transformer. Built a simple wooden lever press in the garage on a workbench and massaged it back straight. Then filled and relocated some screw holes to make a stiffer structure.
I like reusing the original chassis and original paint or anodizing. I don't mind the patina.

Yes, I did the same on a stack of the Clair Brothers units. I started using Joes chassis' and heat sinks and saved a bunch of time. Having the anodized White Oak Chassis' with machined screw holes eliminated the risk of sheet metal crumbs from falling inside the amp due to sheet metal screws. And having his IEC receptacle is a bonus not to mention the extra room. But it's all moot since the face/chassis has mating dimples.
