hammond 6GW8/ECL86 amp conversion

This is the second Hammond reverb amp I've converted. Pics below show the conversion to guitar amp. The first conversion can be seen here.

This is the amp in original form.


This is post conversion. On this one, I left half the terminal strip for wiring near the volume pot. The lamps also remain and are wired to 6.3VAC to back light the faceplate.


The final schematic...


Here's a layout diagram. This amp can be built with ONE terminal strip!
