Well I had to overcome my fear and not defy an order from my mentors

So I opened it up and it's not looking good

This black piece was loose

But now I see where the hickey is for the "stop" (I presume)

Beyond that things get ugly(ier) quick

EDIT. I seem have found a reasonable substitute except it is a stereo pot with two sets of terminals

There are no instructions or BOM included on the "documents" page.

No, unfortunately not. Any ideas?

Thanks guys I got some measurements

Also wow this thing looks tiny since I saw it last

I know G1 said to take it apart I don't know if I can handle it 

I found an old pot but it's 100k and looks to be PCB mount (?)

You can get "universal" solid shaft pots that have a long "cut to length" shaft.
Requires new set screw type knobs.

Yes sir thanks nice to hear from you 

One BIG TO DO on my list is to set up some test speakers UP OUT OF THE WAY that I can CONVENIENTLY  utilize for scenarios as these 

What is the length of the shaft ?
You will want to measure the splined shaft and the threaded shaft length and also add them together to be able to find a replacement.
The other option is replace both pots and also the knobs and you get a lot more choice to finding the pots, you can look at solid shaft pots or D shaft pots if you replace the knobs as well.
What is the diameter of the knobs ?

The silver one would make a good one to try a guitar on, it is missing the cap on the main fuse but you should be able to borrow the one from the black one to test it with, it should just unscrew.
Try the guitar into a microphone input and see what you get, the speaker out is transformer driven so you can use 4, 8, 16 ohm speakers by just using the right tap, just ignore the 25v and the 75v outputs.
I would turn it on and measure the voltage on the speaker terminals before attaching a speaker, you should always do that when you first start a solid state amp because if there is DC on the speaker output you can destroy the speaker in seconds.
There should be no DC on that amp since it has a transformer but it is better to be safe every time, if you have a preamp pedal that might help drive the black one to full power output as well.
Have fun

Hi. I'm fairly new here and just come across the honey amp, which I think would be a good project after my noisy cricket. I can see how to order from osh park, but I can't seem to find the bill of materials or instructions. Could someone point me in the right direction please?

Many thanks.
