Below are some images that show the locations of the various filter caps within the amplifier chassis.


The big cap for the First Stages is located directly below the 6E5P tubes...

The big filter cap for the Bass Channel is adjacent to the Bass OPT (peeking through a hole):

The filter caps for the DHT Channel, Upperbass Channel, Injection Channel are immediately below the respective OPT's with enough room between to make the panel meter connections...

Below you will see the clusters of smaller caps for the Bias string (11 caps) and the Single Stages (4 caps including one yellow)...

Below can be seen the relative position and orientation of the 5 OPT's.

I will look into placing shielding between the OPT's and the tube sockets.  There are a few options and I need to think about the best way to implement them.

Thanks for the help so far.
