::Why not? There should be sufficient room in this monster. Don't
forget to change the cathode bias, too. And the filter caps/bleeders. I'd
recommend getting rid of the silly little fan and installing a real fan,
like a 120mm "boxer" fan... Pretty looking amplifier. Way too heavy for a
mere 1kW PEP, but like Wonder Bread, it might help build strong bodies...
