Suggestions for getting a commission to custom build tube amps

I read about some people commissioning someone to build custom amps and preamps for them in Audiogon. I spent more than a year perfecting an 833A SET trying several different ways to couple a 45 driver to the grid before I was satisfied with it. It uses 4.5 Farad filter capacitors on the 10 Volt 10 Amp cathode heaters and it is perfect for my Magnepan 0.7 speakers.
Can anybody suggest how I might earn some honest money custom building my design on a commission? I would feel best if someone who wanted to hire me to do it could hear and see my system and discuss the style of the chassis. It takes under $2000 in parts to build a pair of monoblocks.
www.instructables.com/id/The-833-A-Stereo-Amplifier for pictures of it before I converted to Magnepan speakers and my final choice for the Lundahl transformer coupling the 45 SET to the grid of the 833-A.

Audiophiles have enough trouble dusting their amps let alone having them dry cleaned.
Seriously drbarney1, you must know, as the previous poster said, that that sort of presentation makes the product look like a joke, and it would be hard to shake that image in the future. You would be more successful with a clean, lab sort of look.

I doubt that anyone out there will take you seriously with cosmetics like that What possessed you to make it look like that?
