Oooo Nice. Looks like a swanky version of the old twin reverb. Whats that strat, a American Pro or HSS ?
The strat's just an hss original body Mexican.

I actually prefer the hp Gibson, although my strat is out of the picture - those are all my husband's in the photo.

The amp is a cyber deluxe all solid state, with about 60 modes, so if you want it to sound like a valved Marshall or a subway rocket mesa boogie then you just select that mode.

Tbh it sounds so much like the real thing, we sold the rocket and Marshall and most of the other amps, just this one and a practice amp left.

More of a Gibson Les Paul fan myself, but have played a friend's strat and really liked it

First born with my 54 esquire, that he thought he was going to take to uni , I bought him a sea foam American pro instead. And my 85 strat that I’m refurbing after 30+ years of abuse

Although it needs attention, this 1930's 'LEP Co'( Lancashire Electric Power Company) head is a work of art.
.........but take a look at the cables plastered, or not, into the wall!
Looks like the place could be a mess. T+I tomorrow.

Sorry sir, that were me..........when asked to sort the faulty door bell a couple of weeks back.
How I found it, with the old XFR below it.

I could have just got a new lid for the browny, I suppose. ?......from some museum or other.

Tough day today, CU was under the bleedin' stairs. These jobs for friends!!
Two CU's the original one's a real balls up, mess. Faults all over the place and awful standards.

The second board, for the extension, was done decently, but then, just to rub it in........ socket connections and in board, the RFC tester's nightmare!

That will have done the 12V camera lots of good I'm sure....?‍♂️

Will find out Monday if he got lucky or not with protective circuitry...

My money's on that being a dead camera now!
 
Oh a back box straddling the grout line!
 
I thought the last one I put up was bad….
That's almost impressive...

but......why!!! Cables look long enough - what possible benefit is there in doing it that way??
