Parts List
Here are the part lists for a complete 18 Watt LiteIIb "Baby Will" amplifier. This includes just about everything you will need to build a Baby Will from scratch. You will need some 600V rated hookup wire and solder. Aside from that, it should be in the list. We created two file formats for you; Excel and PDF. We created PDF versions for those of you that can't open Excel spreadsheets. Although, the spreadsheet contains hyperlinks to make ordering the parts a snap.

Chassis Layouts
If you are building from scratch, we recommend the Wattkins Universal Chassis or the Wattkins Junior Chassis as these have some pre-drilled pilot holes and are suitable for building a Baby Will.
Drill Plan
Epiphone Valve Junior Conversion
These drill templates are based on the existing holes in the Valve Junior chassis but will work just as easily on a blank chassis.

Build Manual
We've created what we think is a very comprehensive build manual for the Baby Will Valve Junior Conversion. It's written so a novice builder can work through the project with detailed instructions and supporting illustrations every step of the way. It contains over seventy (70) pictures and illustrations. We hope you find it useful.
