Great work on a true rare classic. This amp will be able to cover all 843 acres of NYC Central "Park" when done. Or "blow a 50amp fuse" at a Rolling Stones concert playing "Sympathy for the Devil".
I can't wait to hear how this amp sounds! Thank you for documenting your work on this and how you went through the schematic in an earlier video! I've played several Marshall Majors over the years, but I've never seen anything like this in person!
You know Mitch Colby now has Park Amps. His company is “Colby Amps” & “Park Amps”. He’s in New York and you can find both companies on line. Good luck!
Those WIMA Durolit tend to leak a lot due to the sealing cracking and moisture penetrating the internals…so far I haven’t seen many which still where good after 40+ year but here they are still good?
BTW - Concerning using cap cans, as you've discussed about axial electrolytic capacitors in other videos, are you concerned about cap cans commonly used in amps become obsolete and difficult to find as well for when in the future they need to be replaced?
A lot of industrial and scientific equipment uses high voltage can caps. There’s also businesses like CE Distribution that bought the old Mallory tooling and sells direct replacements for tube amps. I think they’ll be around for at least another 100 years.
2:31 Did you mean to say filament to cathode short? I'm not sure how you'd get a heater to plate short unless it's in the wiring in the base of the tube.
Another lesson for me. Thank you Sir.

Mr.Park is looking good..So tidy and look forward to hearing it..Ed..uk..😀

Seriously, link to ground lugs, pls?
Hi there
I really need a schem of the power section. Any chance you made one
It's pretty much the same as the Major.

I've known Mitch for over a decade now. But thanks!
@@PsionicAudio Lyle; I’ve known Mitch like 30+ years, but who’s counting..😁🎵
@9:35 _"..neaten..."_ I thought I was the only one to use that particular technical nomenclature.
Those things made in Korea?

Not sure. Some have minor leakage.
But way to spoil the next video! ;)

Not sure, it's pretty much just F&T and ARS now. CE caps have gone downhill in my experience and JJ are crap.
Ah the Neighbor Maker is almost alive...
At 8:58 to 9:00 and 10:58 to 11:00 approximately - hilarious man!
2:31 Did you mean to say filament to cathode short? I'm not sure how you'd get a heater to plate short unless it's in the wiring in the base of the tube.
No, plate/heater. Happens in the tube but it can then burn a path in a socket.
@@PsionicAudio Wowzers. So, that's not happening in the cylinder area, but in the base of the tube where it things get connected to the pins?
The wires inside the tube connected to the pins. Which then becomes a short from pin to pin, which can burn the socket.
