Re: DONNA ROCKET Complete...no wood yet
Greg,
Looking good. Nice job.
The only thing that may be of concern that you may want to do is to move the C 13 220uf cap away from the 50R 25W cathode resistor. That sucker gets a bit warm and may cause the cap some heat problems.
Check out a few of the posted build pictures and you will see what I mean.
When you move it away it has no support so you can use a bit of silcone under it to secure it to the chassis like the cap stack.

In the 60's people took acid to make the world weird. Now the world is weird , and they take Prozac to make it normal.

You are correct Gary but I cut the dam leads too short. I can extend with hook up wire. I did not realize that heat was a problem there. I will fix is.

Greg,
Very nice build.
Can you tell me what coupling caps you used and where you found them?
I'm always up for some clips and a report on how she sounds...
Thanks,

You're missing the mid knob! 
Re: DONNA ROCKET Complete...no wood yet
It's probably just me but I would run a ground wire to the second output jack as well.
