Thanks to all for the nice compliments. It isn't perfect, but I think it looks pretty good. I used Chuck's modification, switching a resistor in the IF can from 4 meg to 2 meg. It helped a lot and now the set makes plenty of volume. I am very thankful for the work that Chuck and Ron put into the website. It is chock full of nice little hints on how to make things better.

The grill cloth is not original. I am pretty sure that it is the small herringbone cloth that I bought from Kenny Richmond. He sells excellent grill cloth.
