Got everything but the power cord in.
I'm gonna put the power cord in and go get some lunch. Was hoping someone can take a look at the pics and make sure everything looks OK before I power it up.

Thanks -Jimi

Ha , George should include a pack of earplugs with every kit he sells!

Got the amp fired up and checked all voltages everything went really smooth. The tubes aren't matched though. when I measured the drop I got 39, 38, 30, 16

. I swaped the tubes and the readings followed the tubes, so its not the sockets. The amp sounds great, I'm really happy with it. The only thing is when I turn the amp on standby I hear a loud pop. No pop when I turn it on just when I put it back on standby. I thought I read about this somewhere being common and there is a fix for it ... anybody know?
Thanks Jimi

Hey, the pop went away as soon as I put it in the case. Guess it needed the shielding. NICE!!!

This amp rules. Thanks to everybody who helped me out directly, and indirectly through the archives of posts on this awsome site.
