First-time build, how does it look before I test & fire
The only thing missing that I know of is a wire off of V3, pin 7. Aside from that, does anything glaringly stand out as being wrong?
It's almost entirely built from one of Graydon's (awesome) kits, aside from the Mallorys and the two Allen Bradley 100Ks.
Again, I haven't run through any final tests or anything. Man, I'm nervous that it'll work.
In addition to the pics below, there are a bunch more at: http://www.kurtsequipment.com/18w
Thanks for any input!

A nice and tidy build, a lot better than mine - but (just a friendly tip): The white wiring is beautiful, but oh so hard to troubleshoot?
Just an idea...I use red for all B+, black for ground, brown for cathodes, orange for inter-stage signal paths and green and blue for the rest (whatever that is) plus twisted black/green for heaters - and even if this ain´t standard either, it has helped me a lot..dunno with the rest of you guys.
As stated before - nice build
Cheers /Richard
