lol it's been finished and then sent to Sooty, and then sold to someone eventually I believe. Was a great sounding little amp.

Ya, came to me, sounded awesome....pulled it apart and kept the speakers, sold the amp, kids use the cabinet as their work bench. Choice.

Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

It was a great sounding amp, I would have loved to keep it and put it into a smaller 112 cab.
