Dynaco ST-70 redone the Wardsweb way

Here is my latest project. A rebirth of a classic Dynaco ST-70 with some upgraded parts, circuit, chassis and cabinet.

Excellent blending of the New and Old worlds.
The ST-70s are a great foundation for an amp.
I like your thinking here.

I dig it Luther, but the one thing that jumps out at me - all that work, and cheese out on the binders?

The power transformer is an upgrade. The output transformers are original.

I used what I had. You have something laying around that would work better?

Might have some Cardas, I'll look around. Don't get me wrong, just my eyes went straight to the posts on the rear view.

That is mighty sweet man. I wonder what it would sound like driving my 90's with my 2.5 in front of it?

Seriously, beautiful job.
