    Very nice.
    My Road Runner is similarly well put together.

    Pleased to see the component values are not obscured, as someone suggested they might be in another thread…

    Was the hum anything to do with the filter cap which appears to be tacked between the circuit board and some other point (not visible) on the lower left side of the pic?

    Nice Paxolin circuit board, very Selmer :).

    Don't like the wire crossing the high power resistor but then I have no idea how hot it gets.

    Those yellow capacitors are of a type approved by our very own Post Office for telephone ring tone feeds and as such are likely pretty everlasting. But yes good but I still think 'our' Artisans are prettier!  So, no ceeegar.

    I've seen PRs which hum due to poor grounding of the main filter cap which grounded by soldering to the chassis. Quick but not ideal.

    re the chassis pics, this more or less copies Fender's layout, ie not ideal but easy to assemble. 

    For example the signal ground is not ideal.

  • For what they cost, I was hoping to see teeny tiny people stoking fires, running on treadmills and cranking handles and shit!

    Or Robert Cray with his strat in hand hiding next to the tone control ... but only when he's not sitting inside his Matchless amp.
