Cool mate, the old Tokais were real good guitars, you got a beauty there, the law suit years, poor old Fender.
I started out building Ceriatone kits, there's not a thing wrong with them, the cork sniffers will put em down coz they're from Malaysia. I did have a PT blow on me and just for the record their PTs do get hot but IMO their OTs are as good as anything else I've used. Anyway I started making my own chassis and I buy my trannies from the states, I mark out the turret board to suit what I'm building. Mods, yes well, been there, done that. I've put extra pre tubes in a 50 and a 100w JCM style, too much gain for me so I took em out. All my amps are to stock spec now as I believe after all the years of modding them that Marshall got it pretty right and I reckon they be best stock except for a tweek here or there as well as a PPIMV in some of them, they work great in the 100 watters to tame them a tad. I don't gig anymore, you can't fight it, after all, Rock n Roll really is dead n buried. Buying my 750 basket case after all these years is just a beautiful thing even if it's keeping me broke, gee I'm glad the previous owner rebuilt the top end. So far I've put in 1st over pistons, new valves, guides and springs, as well as put in the cam chain slipper that was missing. Never trust a PO esp if they say something was repaired, fixed or rebuilt. All good though, should have it going by spring.
I used to use Sozo signal caps in the amps but have gone back to Mallory 150s, nice n cheap and sound great.
Looking at the pic of the amps going from top left to top right then 2nd left to 2nd right etc, the amps are.
50W low voltage 2204---- 50W lead spec
JTM-45 -------------------50W bass spec
45/100 4xKT66-----------JTM-50
100W super bass---------100W super lead
Here's a look inside a JTM-45 I built for a mate.
