My 300B Paramounts

[STURMJ]

Mine too are no match for Wardsweb work ( excellent BTW ). But, lets break the ice so others will post also.  These are 300B Paramounts with a Jensen cap coupling the stages.  And a monster Jupiter parafeeding.

And the underside.

Nice work!  I like the top plate color especially. 

What finish is on the bases?  I like that as well.

Are the Jupiter caps, enormous aren't they, in any danger that close to the cathode resistors?  I know that the Paramounts do not have any venting on the top plate like the Eros.

And Jupiter caps are wax, so be careful in high heat applications, especially in summertime.

I'm in Minnesota, we had a cool summer and I keep the temps pretty cool in the winter. No problem yet with the cap. I do keep an eye on them. They are the newer high temp edition ( 70 C about 160F ) Hopefully they will do fine. I had a friend make me new bases out of maple, he has all the necessary tools, which I do not.  The top plate is painted with model aerosol paint. ( British metallic green, MG green? ).  Maple it turns out is hard to satin, it took several attempts-resandings,to get it even.
