I finally finished my Bottlehead Crack + Speedball + Upgrades.  Its painted with rustoleum hammered copper and the wood has a gloss finish on it.


Upgrades

Speedball
Neutrik locking jack
TKD 2CP2511 100kohm pot
Genuine Sylvania Pilot Light
2.2µF Axon film bypass cap on the last power supply cap (Probably don't need this with a choke installed?)
Triad C7X  choke replacing the last power supply resistor
Axon 91µF/250V output film caps

Wonderful,
What size hole did you drill for the jack? 7/8?
Thanks!

Yeah, I think it was around 7/8.  Don't quote me on that though.   I actually oversized the hole by mistake.  That's why I have a rubber gasket under the jack...

That's what I measured, but am worried about the screw on the side. Read that it was a problem. Use a step bit? They are pricey.
Nice job with the gasket...looks quite intentional/professional.
Thanks
