As I have tested (started to test) a variety of different designs for chassis I wnt for a new aproach this time. Normally all my tube amps have been boxes (wood or metal or wood AND metal), but now I have started off with a ... metalbox that I folded myself in a new fashion. As the compartment below the transformers often is empty or filled with PSU caps, I simply deleted this space - the caps are all onboard. The transformers will sit on the back of the chassis on a recess (guess that's a correct name) and the board with its tubes on the front piece where the chassis is 2" in height. I haven't gotten any PCB-mounted sockets and I have an idea of using ordinary chassis-mounted sockets soldered to the PCB with short pieces of wire.
I have already a Darling of the matrixed kind, but wanted to try the "normal breed" with my highly efficient horn, so here we go .... but slowly.

Here you may see the ideas behind my chassis. I will make some wooden sides and cover the bottom with a steel or alu sheet or maybe even a piece of mesh metal.
