Mike C,

Tino Zolotta's Book "Building Vacuum Tube Guitar & Bass Amplifiers"
(Volume 2) has a complete instruction building thie Fender Twin Reverb the AA270 chassis with AB763 modications silver face to black face. I doubt if your boards will work as he uses his own design.

All of his books are available at Antique Electronic Supply Antique Electronic Supply

1st decide which 'twin' do you want to build. Schematics & layouts are available on a number of sites.

I can recommend Tino's books. I just build an amp from book 1 and it works great. The instructions were accurate and complete. I just ordered book 2 just to have it I don't know if i'll build anything out of it or not.

Is it a Tweed Twin chassis (the 50's chrome box)? If so start with a schematic and layout diagram, available all over the internet. If you dig deeper you can probably find detailed assembly instructions. The Twin Reverb is a bit more difficult. Anyway, I built my first amp by following the layout diagram for a tweed Bassman.

You might find detailed instructions on the net, but really it's just follow the drawing one component and wire at a time. One tip would be to do the power transformer and filament wiring first. While it look complex it's pretty simple when you break it down. Is it a tweed twin chassis you have?
