Hi Trevor,
Thanks for your comments.
Ed Dinning has built me some wonderful transformers which I am sure will be a massive improvement over the originals.
I do recall when I lived in Hertfordshire and a neighbours (close friend) son was having issues with his Marshall DS201 amp, I took this to a Marshall employee I knew in Milton Keynes to review. The first thing he did was add extra solder in places in the circuit board as he indicated that during manufacture, the least amount of solder was used per board to keep costs down!
I do agree these earlier amps (I have a 64 WEM Custom 15) uses really thin internal cables and I am sure that this was to reduce costs.
When I started to collect parts for this, I did select the best possible components e.g. I do have a range (more that 2) ECL86s & ECC83s (including NOS Telefunken, Mazda, Mullards etc).
Best Regards
Rob
