Ahh, but you forgot this is "stereo." The amp has twin output trannies and everything is split. Rules out an 18-watt clone. If it had been a mono amp, I would have drove up to Minnesota to pick it up from Josh (or his wife).
I mean I guess you could hand wire an 18-watter out of some of the parts. You would still need to pick up some other parts, like a solid 30 watt OPT and a standard chassis. Be fun to build.
