Yes, I have 😎 and from my personal experience I know very well how " kick " high voltage 🙁 . And also I know very well, how tempt little children to put pins into holes... But these things don't tell nothing to guys, which can to see on chassis phalic symbols without " cover " condom 😀 .

PAT4006 Toroid Outputs, 4 x EL34 Triode Strapped with wimpy 12AU7 common cathode pre, direct coupled to concertina splitter.
12Hz to 150kHz at 10W - 40W max

Edit - I forgot pulled the 12AU7 and fitted ECC99 in its place.

Here's a bottom shot finally! Yes chassie is 12 gauge copper. A sheet
large enough to make two amps cost me $90CND. The guy at the sheet metal shop does the cutting and bending for free. "Anything but another duct!" Kinda messy under the hood, but a lot of tinkering went on. You see 2X4H chokes under there. Overkill, but I had em so......

That amp was built 4 years ago....sprayed it with clear laquer...havn't had to do more than dust it! (Occationally) Copper is really easy to work with. UMMMM...let's see....Hummmm...I thought it would look pretty cool at the time too.
