The amp is fully built. The wooden housing is stained, poly'ed and then painted + lacquered to give it the look it has. The aluminum chassis is also painted to give it Marblized look. The overall look was to achieve a vintage marbilzed look. The is some imperfect on the paint in some places but it's nothing major. See images

Please note:

• The amp was recently finished. Has the two quiet stepped attenuator addon as well. It passes ALL voltage and resistance tests.

• it will come the original tubes that it came with.

• I purchased it directly from Bottlehead, the stock tubes have about a few minutes on them

• Will come with the original IEC power cable and rca cables

Tubes

Comes with addition higher quality NOS tubes as well

• NOS Ratheon 6080 tube, currently installed, less than a few hours of time on it (costs 35)

• NOS Sylvania 5 star 6080 tube, no usage (costs 35)

• NOS Genalex Gold Lion 12AU7 Platinum grade (49.97 retail) currently installed with less than a few hours on it

• 2x NOS Sylvania Gold Brand GB-6005 (6aq5 equivalent) currently installed with less than a few hours on it. ($35)

As you can see these were intended to improve upon the stock tubes on the crackatwoa. The are NOS and have a few hours of play time on them.

Added in caps:

• 2x Mundorf Mcap Evo Aluminum. Oil 100uF3% 350VDC (replaces the stock 100uf250vdc) these give the amp a much cleaner, albeit warmer output (costs about 100-130)

• 2x Mundorf Mcap Supreme Silver Gold oil 0.1uf3% 1000vdc (replaces the same cap rating) these also improve the output stage and give its a much cleaner presentation and staging. (Costs $70)

The cap mods, over stock improve the overall sound signature. Gives it a much cleaner sound and despite some saying it should have made it warmer in my opinion I feel like it made it a bit less warmer and improved the slam of the lowend. It still it retains ots mostly warm and tubey sound it sound incredibly clean and impactful

Additionally the silver power cable shown in the pictures is not included but can be for $70 more
