Look great.

I made up a tone board like that with my caps in the circuit and main filters cap can.
Worked great.

Man, that is gorgeous. Great layout and dress! I bet it sounds great. Please give a detailed tone report!

Fantastic!

Nice build! If you don't mind me asking, what type of transformers did you use? I'm considering building a Rocket and I'm thinking about going with the following, but I'm not sure how "close to spec" these are.
Output Transformer: A470 S Triode at 4,300 Ohm (isn't the standard for the Rocket around 4,300 ohm?) http://triodeelectronics.com/noname.html
Power Transformer: Classic Tone TW Style http://www.triodeelectronics.com/40-18065.html
Choke: I'm still at a loss. Somehow I'm having a hard time finding specs for the Rocket's choke. What do I need? What did you use?
