Power Tran & Output Tran

The Power Transformer wires have been measured and cut to length and so has the Output Transformer wires. I'm going to have to drill into the chassis for an impedance switch for the speakers.

This switch will allow me to run one of these set ups: one 6L6 power tube = 8ohms
one 6L6 = 4ohms
one 6V6 = 4ohms
one 6V6 = 8ohms

I've already purchased a 6L6 and I plan to run it into an 8ohm speaker, but in the future I may try and go with a 6V6 into an 8ohm speaker as this will give a tweed Champ or Princeton like sound.

My next step is to cut a hole in the chassis to allow that switch to fit and then I can finally begin assembly and solder... Not too far away from powering up!!
