First pic of the progress so far.

Wired the pots in tonight.

So, shielded wire question. Does this pic show the correct way to use the shielded wire?

[Bieworm]

Well... the shielding of the shielded wire should only be connected at one end. Te other end should be clipped and sealed off with heatshrink. I can't see if you did that because you only show one end of the wire.
For good practice and result it's best to connect the shield at the input ground, not at the tube socket side.

And if that's V1 and the resistor shown is the grid stopper of V1a ( input tube 1st amplification stage).. then you should remove that 2M resistor and put a 10k instead.

Here's a better pic. The V1 resistor is 10K, no 2M
At the input jack, you can't see it, but only the center wire is attached and the braided wire is cut back and you can see the heat shrink.
That's a 1M resistor on the input jack
so, if I understood you correctly, in this application, the best end of the shielded wire being grounded is on the input jack side?

Yes, the input is the noisiest side, and that's where it should be tackled.

And 10k? That resistor is marked 1934, so 1930000 ohms. Thats 1.93 mega ohms in my book. Vishay/Dale would mark a 10k as 1002

Your book is missing a few pages.

Those are 10K CMF resistors, which have the actual value printed on them:

How weird ...

[JMPGuitars]

How weird ...

Yeah, they're made my Dale also. I never paid attention to those numbers. EDIT: I just looked, it appears those are 4 digit date codes (YYWW): https://www.vishay.com/docs/31018/cmfind.pdf

The other numbers you referenced (which aren't on those) is fairly common with other brands too.

I only used the dales one time. I usually buy the banded stuff. The dales over here are only 0.4W and I use mostly 1 or 2W. Dales cost way more than anything else too

Re-doo'd.
Re-read grounding schemes and Josh's workbook. It's all right there.
Shrink tube up high for pic. Slid it down and wrapped ground connection after.

Looks like you forgot the ground wire to the future turret board?

No, this is it right here. Just sitting on top of this pot.

'Murica! We gots the bigun resistors!

It's an illusion, partly caused by the smaller size image. If you don't look closely, it looks connected to the pots. But I knew you got it right anyway, since you got all the docs.
