   Who is that "professional radio engineer", living not far from Canberra and   
   selling dodgy tube amps?

   Patrick would know...   
      
   Spray painting the whoile transformer is a dodgy job. Laminates should be   
   painted black, while the covers -- different colour or crome.   
      
   And besides, "professionals" do not use 6.3mm jacks for the speaker   
   connectors, unless the contacts are gold plated. With nickel plated steel,   
   contact resistance is unstable within a few milliohms which is no-no for any   
   decent audiophil!
