Comparison of the Marshall and Mercury Magnetics trannys. The Mercuy's are number 2 and 4, starting from the left. The new choke is on top.

Filter cap mounts - filtercapmounts.jpg

The mounting clamps for the new Weber Cap Cans(tm) were to narrow for the mounting holes. I had to elongate them to fit. It worked out well. They are nice and tight

I used shrink tube to protect the wires. The tape holds the screws in place while I install the nuts.

Choke wires - Chokewiressealed.jpg

This is a shot of the underside of the chassis. You can see the shrink tube extending out of the mounting holes. I added a little silicone to seal the holes

I choose to install the choke near the front side of the chassis. This was to allow unfettered access to the tubes, and to keep the wires as short as possible.

I have mounted the power transformer, choke, and the filter caps. It's starting to look like an amplifier again.
