I figured someone would post this eventually. The amp did turn out pretty nice.
 
Saw this the other day. Sounds awesome and has me gassin for one!
 
Great sounding amp !

This reminds me that I need to clean up my work area. Seeing this organized bench makes me jealous.
 
I’d rather do this to a 1987 reissue or clone if I could. The SV20’s I tried in the past just didn’t have a low end response I liked.
Good to know, I’ve never played the studio amps. I had a 1987 with a snorkler mod that was unbelievable - I don’t know what the F I was thinking selling that thing.

Anyone know the size for speaker jack screws for Marshall? This would be for a mono/stereo plate. My best guess so far is a #8 x 5/8 wood screw but curious if anyone knows exactly. For years I had the plate just sitting in there with no screws (worked fine as it was tight fit) but it’s time to shore it up.

Just 4 screws in there. A normal decking screw works if you don't have the visually appealing type... threads all look the same though and work the same when it comes to these type of things. Probably don't use a 3". Anything 1/2" to 1" is plenty.

That’s too long. The MDF backing is about 5/8 of an inch. I don’t want to go through it.

Why not?

It won't hurt anything. And with MDF I always drill a pilot hole anyway to avoid any chipping. So if you have that idea in your head why ask? Go get the perfect length screw to not poke through if it bothers you. But it's not going to change anything about how the screw holds. It'll hold better all the way through, than it will halfway through....

So you really are just being overly anal. Put 4 screws in the jack plate. You let a jack plate sit for how long? And you want to fret over screw length?

That jack will be free floating another 3 years, I can tell already. ??
 
I'm thinking this is similar to what Dave F. is doing with my 18 watt TMB.
