I was curious where do any of the other fellow Canadians buy their amp parts from? Like places in Canada or Canadian owned stores, I’ve found Mouser to always be cheaper and free shipping for resisters, caps, transformers, chassis ect compared to digi-key, Next Gen Guitars for tube sockets, tag strips and shielded wire ect, Solen for tubes and certain caps, Parts ConneXion for Mundorf caps. I always try to support local Canadian stores when I can so minus Mouser the rest from what I’ve found are the best that ship from inside Canada.

Well I decided to build one of these amps because it should do exactly what I need, I went with the single choke version and I am pretty excited to hear it and all I am waiting for is my EL-34s. I am glad I found the YouTube series and this website, its such great content!, Now I changed things up a bit and went with a bigger chassis and used Hammond output transformers because to get the Edcors into Canada would kill me with shipping, exchange, duty and whatever else and the Hammonds are quite a bit bigger and 11lbs each haha. Went with wood sides for a more vintage look. I have some tube experience but never did a full on build and it was awesome! I added some photos, I centered the driver tubes in-between the choke and end of the chassis and centered the power tubes with the output transformers. Once I confirms everything is good and play it a bit on my smaller speakers I'm going to hook it up to the Klipsch Cornwall 3s and see how she does!
