Here's a look at the "guts" of the amplifier. There's a reason the top view looked rather sparsely populated, I put most everything except for the tubes, inside the chassis, both for looks and for electrical safety, so there is no exposed high voltage.

The large round object in the left-center is a toroidal power transformer, made in Serbia, by Trafomatic. The small side mounted transformers are made by Magnequest, in Philadelphia, and the other round object, on the right, with the radially mounted resistors, is a ladder step attenuator from Hong Kong. The capacitors come from the Czech Republic and from France. All in all, this was definitely an international effort.

The chassis measures 12 inches X 10 inches, X 2 inches deep.
