Good to know! I'm specifically looking to avoid PCB amps and Chinese made power transformers etc.
I've priced out a "standard" 5E3 kit with parts from different sources. Looks like I can do it for about $550, which includes a good quality cabinet, made in Canada Hyboer transformers, a chassis kit from Boot Hill amps and a quality Jensen speaker. It'll be a couple of months before I think the wife will buy off on it. I'll be pondering it in the meantime.
