Still very loud and so heavy that I built a head cabinet to hold the chassis and removed it from the amp cabinet. Then I put in a wood blank painted black to cover the area in the cabinet where the jacks and knobs on the chassis were. Also added a computer fan to cool the tubes, which originally there were 14.
I believe those Twins were called The Evil Twin. Don't know if that was a Fender official designation or what. Fender actually did a reissue of them a couple of years back.
