CTC made a few of these and even have a picture of one here in my photo gallery as well. Lots of work involved as well as new front plate and top to get rid of the surgisters and install circuit breakers.......Need to replace over 200 parts and delete another hundred or so and get rid of the IR mosfets which allow so much 2nd order harmonics through, but the beast turns into a decent amplifier....Think we build half a dozen of these and they made a really nice, but unwieldy amp at over a hundred pounds....It is way out of production as there was no way to do this without the new metalwork and lots of time involved for an amp that was not as good as the JC-1.......We made the decision not to build any more of these CTC units as few folks would be interested in an amp that was a notch below the JC-1 at similar pricing.......
