About to wire in the board. The rest is done.
Miles, you're gonna be running plates and screens <400V. You should be fine with the reduced screen resistor value and you can always add an additional series resistor coming from B+2 to the screen resistors if you need to take a bit more voltage off without affecting the voltages south of B+2.

Control wires and it's an airplane. I always hate this part, twice in my life so far. I am not good at the transformers and power bits. (gulp)

That's what Granddad used to do in the fuse box.
Of course their house burnt down a couple years later....

Had to run a spare amp out to a friend at a gig.

IT STARTED WITHOUT BLOWING UP!!! Only had time to get the tubes in and flip the switch before I left.

Bad news: motorboating. Not 'whump whump whump' but 'put put put' going to check filter grounds and beg for help and mercy.

HELP!! MERCY MERCY MERCY!! It's a fair layout but I through a couple curve in there between 2 amp styles.

HELP!! hahah happy it doesn't eat fuses.
