Does anybody see any obvious flaws in this amp http://goo.gl/lqPBie

Bandswitch looks pretty small. Plate spacing on tune and load caps pretty
marginal.

Expect trouble.

Interesting observation since the caps look identical to most Alpha, Amp Supply, Heath SB, Ameritron and several other amps that used Johnson, Cardwell, and OEP variables.

The switch is not a simple Centralab LV type clone plus sections are in parallel.

That amp looks just fine for a GU-74B.
