Opening up the chassis reveals a dense, organized cityscape of capacitors, resistors, and wires. This construction method contributes to the amp's legendary durability and its ability to be serviced indefinitely—a stark contrast to the PCB (Printed Circuit Board) designs that would dominate the following decades.
