The build dissertation, Bottom of the plate - picture include.
The power supply is changed so that I can use smaller output caps. First cap is standard 220uf, 2nd cap is a JJ 220uf tipped with a 2.2uf Wima and final cap is a 470uf Mundorf MLytic HV tipped with a Solen 4.7uf film cap. In place of the 2nd resistor I've installed the Triad CX-7 choke. 1st resistor is a Mills that I had and it matched the 270 ohm value needed. Diodes were replaced with the diode board and Cree Schottky diodes. As someone noted I did put ferrite beads in but it's also been mentioned that they serve virtually no purpose with the transformer supplied.
Wiring is mostly cotton wrapped (

Power switch is a Cherry with the on/off markings.
I did use a 8 pin socket wired for 6SN7 tubes instead of the 9 pin 12AU7 socket. I've liked the sound of the 6SN7's since I first tried them with the socket adapter.
Input wiring is Mogami 2534.
Volume is an Alps blue mounted on a circuit board. Putting together the connectors isn't difficult but takes a steady hand (lay off the coffee!). I find it easier than trying to solder onto the straight pins.
I'm going to try and resist putting in the Speedball so I can get a feeling for the sound. I've installed the standoffs and found that doing that as you build insures that there are no difficulties getting those in later. In other builds I streamed the speedball in but with all of the components moving on this build I elected to do that later.
Plate was designed by me and cut by laser. I drilled some holes later to accommodate the capacitors and wire ties. Each of those holes has a rubber grommet and under the output caps are rubber bumpers.
