Hi :)
Neither a toffee nor a computer but a mythical (and expensive) tube
amplifier.
when you can't afford it, raytrace it!

It's gorgeous, whatever it is.  Great selling point for Moray.

Nothing missing. What you see is a piece of aluminium slid over the first 
tube for shielding.

Great amp!

One tiny little thing, the power tubes somehowe look a bit odd to me. If 
it's the KT88 I'd expect the body to be a bit "fatter". If it's a modern 
6550 it could be a bit rounder at the top. If it's a NOS 6550 it could be 
a bit fatter at the bottom. Although I have to admit that I haven't played 
with these tubes for some years now. Currently using an amp with 6C33's.

I'd like to see it switched on, glowing in the dark :)

inside top of it looks threaded, which looked a bit strange

fair enough, looking again you can just see the end of the pre-amp( i 
assume) valve

There could/should be a spring in there to push the valve down in its 
socket.

Wow, it is impressive. I think the wood is a bit unrealistic. Improving the
table's texture would make the image much more realistic.
