I “go for” the Oilers in a very limited way from Australia, in solidarity with my cousin Pete who is a supporter from the glory days. They moved to Canada way back in the late 50s, so he is a bit older than me and retired. He must be 70 or close to it. Very fit still last I saw him. Lives just outside of Edmonton (St something) and loves the hockey. But been very disappointed over the last decade or so.
Without looking it up, yep St Albert sounds right.
Something like what they used to do on news shows, when they didn't want to reveal who the "witness" was? 
My favorite cable from the same time, but no not Whirlwind. Bill Lawrence. They were not expensive and if there was a short, just cut it and stick the end back on and screw it back and you were good to go. This one has lasted over 30 years. No telling how many current name band cables I've gone through and this thing kicks their butt and keeps going.
The holes resemble the shape would be my guess.
Glad it went well Ken! And that you figured out how to tame that unruly mahogany beast.
If someone looked at how I had the 2nd channel EQ set they would shake their head. But the way I had it blended with the #1 it sounded big, thick and punchy, yet with clarity. Great heads!Yes, they're quite different. The name & speaker size is about all that's the same.
Well, and power - with the 8-ohm speaker I got, the Mark IV is allegedly putting out about the same as the Max 250 does with no add-on cab.
The Mark IV: it takes a bit more boost to the bottom end to where I want it, but easier to bring down the highs. If that makes sense.
The Max 250: super easy to get the bottom end up, even without the Kosmos-C. Also easy to make too boom-y. But I've found it difficult to get rid of a high-end "twang", especially on the G-string.
A few minutes of fiddling with knobs & switches & such that I don't understand fully, yet, on the Mark IV, and no twang, no boom, sounds great
And a voice modulator & dark lighting?
Those are what I want on the Camaro one day. Getting it running is a higher priority.
Peavey amps like yours are as close to ACC amps as there is. Huge capacitors and transformers seem to make a big difference. Chucky can say if that makes sense or if there is some other magic. For now, it is my story and I am sticking to it. They compliment the tonal pallete of Thunderbirds very well.Yes, they're quite different. The name & speaker size is about all that's the same.

My first car was an 80cc Yamaha motorcycle. Two stroke. By the time I sold it, the piston rings were non-existent. It barely ran at all.
Marty was great. Yzerman screwed him over for the Olympics. Detroit can have Stevey Y.
He was a great player and did some good things for TBL, but his 'hosing' of Marty St. Louis left a bad taste in Tampa after his departure. I can't help noticing the "dead" Wings haven't looked too good for a while.
Looks good! Another thing you could do is route a big control cavity from the back.
