Just about done, just need a Kilo knob and one of the Z5U caps I'm waiting for in the mail, then I can start testing. The Jupiter capacitor mounting required some thought. I initially was going to mount a piece of FRP material then mount the caps to that, however I ended up with a standoff and a capacitor mount instead, it offered a slightly cleaner look. The cap narrowly avoids touching the transformer and the clip on heatsinks.
