Mark Abbott	I agree, very impressive. Good stuff Mike, I was wondering when someone would cater to Marshall owners, as there are a tone of repro parts out there. Yours Sincerely Mark Abbott.

Thanks for Kind Words To Joe,
Before I discovered Joe's transfrormers, I have used transformers made by the same company that did all Matchless stuff, But after the installation of his 50watter, I just trew the remaining stock out cause his stuff kills, In Fact I even tried installing My transformer to a customer thinking that for High Gain head it wouldn't be noticeble< I was WRONG, I heard the difference from the moment I played an E chord, So now I only use his transformers in my 50watt amps, and as soon as he gets his 100watter going, I have one on order, I will install it in my upcomming 100 watt amp.
The boards I built I try to duplicate the attention to detail that oldtimers had when the built guitar amps, I have been a student of Harry Joice and Mike Soldano, layouts, I realy admire the way those two layout their amps, I think their is something realy special by the way guitar amp looks from inside as well as outside.
Once again thanks a lot'

BIG Dave	I also received one of Mike's boards and I have to agree that it is top notch! I also considered a Hoffman board however I feel that Mike's board is more authentic. I'll be mating up Mike's board with an OEI OT and a WeberVST JTM45-style when it's available. Should be one hot amp!

Thanks a lot for for kind words.
As it looks now, I also will be able to produce Point to point JCM 800 board. I Had a request for one and it came out killer. Also I see a need for JTM chassis so I am going to have one available for around $80. it will be plain box with lips sticking out just like an original, with 17X6.75X2.5 unpunched, all aluminum, any takers before I commit to the project. I can copy an original JTM faceplate, I do not know about the cost for one, but I am sure it won,t be much since I produce simular one for my own amps. I am interested what you guys have to say about it. cause by the way things looks Mr. weber is not delivering his at the moment, and I have chassis available for now, I do not know If I will meet the demand, but for now I have some I can part with and reduce my overhead a little. I do make a profit on it but not much.

Rebel420	Depending on the ifnal price with the faceplate, I may be persuaded. This would be unpunched, or punched/drilled? Will they fit in a small-box style head cabinet?

mike kach	I just got of the phone with Korg, and they do sell reproduction of JTM faceplate for $40 bucks, it does fit over the chassis and the box I will offer will be unpunched.
