I fear the sin of hubris but for now I'm painting my masterpiece - Tube Gods forgive.

Got my euro-parts, the innards will be finished tonight. Delay will be trannies, and I need to build a temp cradle. it's going to be an other hifi style stay-in-one-place-and-look-cool build so I'm not going to drill for the trannies till I'm sure on the voltages and that I like the Stancor A3851 OT. I have a Marstarn with 290 & 325V taps that I'll test it out with using jumpers. Once I know I'll order up a Hammond or something. Hopefully Hammonds offered here are on hand.

I've never jumpered in an external set of trannies, fearing I'll get some troublesome noise that confuses my boot up. What does one offer the Tube Gods for a safe passage?

Stable support for the amp and transformers, orderly and insulated connections. The NFB is unusual so you might leave it unconnected to start. Other than that, well, we all shine on...
