I set out to make that dream amp.. bought the '72 export chassis from a guy in the Nederlands, the '67 cabinet from one of our members in Canada, 2-JBL Orange D120F's from a guy on Ebay.. cloth, tolex, logo, faceplate, knobs, misc. parts online.. built the birch baffle.. put it all together in about 3 days.. plugged everything in... crap!! low power, crappy distortion.. so I see that a 6L6 isn't lighting up.. I switched the tubes around to troubleshoot the tubes and sockets.. turned her back on.. Holy Cows!! I really can't believe the tone.. as sweet and clean and deeeep reverb and power to burn.. I'm in heaven man.. I've been steelin for about 5 hours straight now, thought I'd take a break and say Yee Haw! and right this down... I was hoping I wouldn't look back and see a terrific waste of my money and time..  I'd do it again and again.. 
Happy Camper Ricky
