Wow that looks nice Dev :) What are the knobs like?

Maybe the front could do with a wipe or a gentle polish?

Chrome plated brass WAD knobs. These jobbies:

Yes, it is a bit messy. I got the faceplate free from my cousin, a sheet metal worker and yes it is a bit scratched:(. Beggars can't be choosers after all:).

I'm off on holidays tomorrow, so will try and polish it when I get back by the end of the month. Perhaps I can get an engraver to engrave the words Volume and Source on the plate?

Dev, a good friend has contacts in the metal finishing trade. If you want that panel tarted up in any way let me know.

I have used Scotchbrite rubbing along one direction over the whole aluminium surface of a faceplate to polish out the scratches. Then a clear layer of lacquer will seal the aluminium. The finish is not as good as brushed aluminium commonly found on amps, but it is good enough for my DIY amps.

Good luck.
