Sounds like a nice job -- good recovery! If you're like me, you'll definitely find things sounding better and better the more brass you replace with copper, and the more copper-to-copper connections you have, meaning copper with no plating, filing plating off tube socket pins where the solder connections are, etc. No, it's not always practical and it does add considerably to the overall cost of a project, but IMO the sonic results are well worth it.
It also is a bit more maintenance and you should stock up on DeOxIt and ProGold and depending on your local climate, do fairly regular cleaning of all connections.
