Hi, not yet. I have to get a new can cap for it. Im putting one with a clamp. I have to punch the hole for said can cap too.

Im reusing the perfboard it came with, but replacing some caps. Most of it was from the original Silverface I believe.

I did clean up some of the wiring though. It looks a bit better.

Size difference between the two output transformers...

I also moved that spec label to the front of the power transformer, didn't like looking at it from the back.
