Screw it
Started to put parts together for my set of 4 Clair's (consec ser No's) and my painter just told me to come and get my chassis I had "Bodywork" done to..

It aint for everybody but these WILL BE DIFFERENT. Pics will get posted starting tomorrow. Progress will be slow since the parts to do 4 amps is expensive. I may have to send Roxanne to a new home....
 
Parts are about 560.00 for each amp, so yeah, kinda pricey to assemble parts for 4...

Damn, thanks for the depressing news brother... I hope the wife doesn't find out how much it costs to build them. Does that include the outputs??????

:)
 
Yep, and rectifier, RCA's, speaker posts, etc...
 
Don't know what the old school guys think but I think they will look great. Italian Racing Red

Looking forward to seeing these when they are done!!!
 
The Devil himself would be proud to own these amps...
 
The long long long road

Now comes the long process of transformers, tearing down the face assemblies, cleaning all the switches, knobs and shit...... This will take a while. Not including the building of the backplanes, control boards and the mile of wire to rig the chassis'.

This group is "The Enforcers". I'm breaking with tradition of naming them with fluffy chick names. The will be the hard working guys. They look pretty, but don't let that fool ya... They are ALL BUSINESS...

They end their old life like this.....

Gotta put on a new face, got some broken glass but I have a replacement. Never mind the 700B, she didn't want to be left out.

Man I want a 700B WOPL so bad I can taste it. They are beautiful

The red looks awesome on those Perry :headbang:
 
Father Guido will need extra support from all this temptation. God be with him :angel10:

But Nando is a straight-up pimp stick, he'll be okay :toothy5:
 
He's got a WOPL'D B as soon as he gets the last of the Aerosmith amps shipped.
