I would love to see more pictures of your tube amplifiers. To me they can be a work of art and some of them really catch your eye when they are on. I only have a couple of my builds worthy of posting and members have already seen them so I will not post another picture. The rest of my builds are built around a plain Bud box or Hammond. I have always been more interested in the sound rather than the appearance but I love looking at really nice retail and diy builds. Very few SS amplifiers can really catch your eye like a tube amplifier does. I look forward to seeing more. The last pictures here of the Dennis Had and Seti's build look outstanding. 

 

I browsed the entire topic and saw an array of nice tube amps, both DIY and commercial products... Consquently, I distributed so much "likes" that I have been "like-forbidden for today" by the forum platform (may be I have been considered as a "like" bot ?)  :)

 

I complete the thread by some of my DIY achievements - which share the same Hammond aluminium casing (1550J = 275x175x67mm) :

Excellent work. Thanks for sharing. What are some of the output transformers you are using?

Thanks @henry4841

 

On the Ultimate 300B, the output transformers are from the French brand STS Millerioux (from mid-80s), model HH25-B. These are sealed, C-core, 2500R/4-8-16R/25Wrms.

On the Ultimate OTL6080, what looks to be output transformers (black casings) are in fact the power stage filtering module. As this amp is an OTL circuit, there's no output transformer :
