Thank you Sir, the EV was at the right price so thats why its in the cabinet. I will evaluate it and get a Scumback or Celestion to try as well.

It looks good so far, you've done a nice job of keeping the wiring tidy and that will help you immensely in avoiding mistakes to start with and then troubleshooting later if the need arises.

One thing I see is that you are bringing power in to the fuse at the forward terminal of the fuse holder. This can potentially allow you to feel the 120V as you insert a fuse. The Electrical Safety organization where I work requires that we bring the power in at the rear terminal... swapping those leads won't change the function but it might save you a jolt somewhere down the line.

I am not sure what the "Build Guide" indicates for an order of events but I prefer to get the heater wiring done as early in the process as I can. After that I typically complete the rest of the wiring on the power transformer so I can measure some voltages and verify that I have everything in order before I get circuit boards in the way.

Post up a note if you have any questions, you have some top notch amp builders that know these amps start to finish.
