Thanks for the information, Arran. I did not know the 80 tube was built in a GT casing. I've always seen globe or ST only. I agree with you after taking a closer look; those look to be original tube socket rivets. Steve, if you don't have it you will want to locate a tube shield. They pop up from time to time on Ebay, and I don't recall where I saw it but there is someone out there that makes reproductions. A little patience and some sheet metal and you could probably fabricate a working version yourself. Original-style speaker cloth will be a bit more of a challenge to locate. Take care, Gary
