Getting the white LED's right is what Anders is messing with today.

Will post a few other pics in a bit.

Nice!

Thanks for the pic Tom.  Hope it looks as awesome when its done as I pictured it in my head!

Any other pics of the awesome binding post work and IEC cutout you did would be spiffy too....

LOL, no MKII for this baby.  Just back to spec w/ thump fix, any/all service updates, white LED's instead of red, and a IEC plug.

Tom said he put some special sauce into the amp as well that he wont discuss  :P....

Tom:

You asked about the faceplate, looks like I had a couple pics of it from when I sent it in.

Here is how it looked:

Tom:

Not one to tell you how to do anything, but wanted to share this suggestion regarding the LED's I got from someone else whose modded a couple...

Quote
Change all 7.5k resistors on the LED board to 1Mohm. This will speed up the decay rate, causing the LEDs to dance too much. Changing R511 and R512 from 130k to 470k will slow down the decay rate to stock (about 1 second).
 
This is what I did for my 1.0t and it works beautifully.
