But I've been backlogged. Finished everything up last night and powered on for first test. Wasn't seeing the voltages I should, so I waited til this AM, and found my issues (a couple broken solder joints on the power tube). Powered it up, and she screams. There's VERY little noise from this bugger. Nice and quiet at idle. So far, I'm digging it. Gonna record a couple samples later today if it cools off enough in the garage.

Of course, still gotta get a proper faceplate made. The one I made is terrible looking, but it'll do for now.
