Great stuff! Looks fine!
Bit of sanding and finishing and you'll have a tidy little unit there. Well Done!

mk 3 incoming , should slot into the case quite nicely but can't expose the valves as they are different distances apart than the mk1 board. .   |

Fantastic job mate. Just an observation, I would highly recommend you remove the terminal blocks on the signal wires and solder directly to the PCB. Honestly, it will give you a better sound. I realise that means cleaning the holes out but it'll be worth it. If you are using wire that is too thick to go through the PCB, make some of these with a pair of pliers, and some 1mm solid core copper. Solder those into the PCB, then solder your wire to them. I have some 7N OCC coming to make a few for projects I have coming up. If you want 8, let me know and once I've made them, I'll post you some down. A thank you for the bits you've send me over the last few years.  |
