Whoops.... I forgot to note that your soldering also appeared to be

Just an observation.
I wouldn't call the wiring a "mare's nest", and in any case we may be
jumping to invalid conclusions about "lethal voltages exposed above the
chassis." If the amplifier in question was intended purely as a
breadboard to be used to develop the circuits, then it is perfectly normal
and reasonable for there to be "lethal voltages exposed above the
chassis." But I suspect that the real situation here is somewhat
different. It looks to me like Andre has built the amplifier circuits on
a metal panel which ultimately forms one side, or the top, of an enclosure
which isolates the lethal voltages from contact with stray human or animal
body parts. I am only guessing at this, perhaps Andre could comment on my
speculation.

I don't see the point of legitimizing Useless Wiecky's vicious
flamemongering by corresponding with him as an equal.
The amplifier in the photograph is a development prototype in which all
the tubes and all the electrics are cover by the case. The flat surface
that Useless can see (and admits by his lies that they were claimed
yesterday or today or a minute ago, depending on his mood) is the lid
of the case. The same page, which he admits having seen, shows the case
covering all the electrics, including the tube. Useless Wiecky is lying
through his teeth yet again when he claims there are "lethal voltages
exposed above the chassis".
This fellow Wieck is useless. He contributes nothing. By these lies,
and our replies, he tries to make himself important in the light
reflected from people who actually build amps.
