I got sick of trying to figure out a powder coater and trying to find a mill, so I just started assembling last night.  I spent about 6 hours putting it together.  I was so tired when I was finished I could barely keep my eyes open or even mentally focus to find a power cord.  The only thing I didn't finish was wiring in the power button.  When I fired it up the tubes glowed, but no LEDs lit up.  I looked at the schematic and figured that there was no high voltage being supplied to the tubes, so I tested the supply.  Nothing.  I traced my wiring and noticed that I forgot to solder the wirewound resistor lead to 13L.  I soldered it up, fired it back up, and everything lit up like it should.  I plugged in my headphones and there was a pretty loud hiss going on, but after a minute it quieted down completely.  It sounds slightly better than before due to the Speedball.  It's been months since I've heard it, so it's impossible to be certain what difference it made.  I only got to snap one picture of a bunch of stuff mounted to the top plate.  I ran out of #4-40 torx screws, so I am going to wait until I receive the rest of them to take the final pictures.  I regret going with this silver-plated stranded wire.  Even tinned, it was a pain in the ass to wrap around terminals.
