John... we usually agree on stuff, but the pic of the bottom of that amp is point-to-point.
That really doesn't qualify as a PC board.
I don't think that it is even a
Printed
Circuit board because there doesn't appear to be any traces or evidence of a printed circuit.
Fender and Marshall amps as well as others had a board like that, but they only had solder posts where the point-to-point wiring was tied together.
The components are soldered to post and wires are used to inter-connect everything.
There is no printed circuit involved.
That type of construction also requires HAND WIRING 100% of the time.
Note to the other poster about terminal strips...
Point-to-point devices had terminal strips (solder eyelet type mostly) in many, many designs.
