It was a Mojotone kit. You get some nicely built parts like the chassis, cabinet, and faceplate, very well organized parts containers with everything labeled as to what it is, and a schematic and layout on two very large sheets of paper. What you don't get are written directions on this kit, or a pic of suggested underboard jumpers. They definitely market these for people with some experience in both building and schematic reading, and the difficulty is rated as the highest for the blackface Fenders. The Tweed Deluxe of theirs I built came with more illustrations and more complete directions.
In all fairness to them, there are two ways to install the output transformer and if not for the negative feedback loop many Fenders use, it wouldn't matter which primary wire went to which power tube. Either way would work fine. I just got it backwards the first try and didn't catch it on first power up. I also wrongly assumed that if it were feeding back, it would be audible. Not necessarily.
