Old-old school, right-angle point-to-point buss bar wiring was pretty much normal back when. I had one of these fine examples as a teen and never forgot it.

I know, and that's why I haven't built one yet.
Yeah, and it only took 3 years to get it that 'Neat'...

Wow, some great examples of some fine work~
You guys are awesome! :thmbsp:
Here's a little something I build, maybe not quite as neat but I've got to do these within a time constraint so I don't sell the farm on every one.
The first one is a prototype for a balanced preamp that got stolen from the store that was demo-ing it for me. (long story..)
The second one is a 180 watt 6550 based monoblock that was commissioned by a speaker manufacturer to show at RMAF last October. This is a work in progress picture showing the top plate and 'floating' circuit board not yet wired into the base which has the big caps, choke, cooling fan and I/O jacks.
I try to engineer some sort of wire routing into my casework and make sure everything is attached (no glue!) by rivets or screws. In point to point I believe that a the shortest path between two points is a straight line. BUT- I would love to learn how to do the old-school wire harness with waxed string like some of the examples above. Lovely stuff!

This is EXACTLY what Kevin Hayes of Valve Amplification Company (makers of the tube amplifiers that won Best of Show from multiple audiophile magazines at the 2014 CES show) has said to me, on many occasions. In fact, he has, as a standard practice at his factory, a procedure called "fluffing the wiring"... if an amp comes off the line that DOESN'T sound as good as the reference amp- one of the first thing that is done, is for the wiring to be moved around so that it more looks like the reference amp of its type- which, incidentally, looks relatively neat, but usually does NOT have tightly bundled runs of wires. Usually, it's a matter of the wiring having been done in TOO regimented a fashion- and "randomizing" them a bit, usually brings the amp to its maximum performance level.
In short- keeping wires from unduly coupling with each other, can be important...

Gordon.

Is your amp good ol' point-to-point wired? Is the job neatly done?
Let's see some photos!
Here's the nudie of my Earl Weston Time Machine 300B SET:
Earle's done some modification internally:
Outside there's this nice new set of Jarrah waxed woodburns...
