Thanks to Erwin (he pushed me over the edge  Wink), I decided to build this thing.

Let me tell you, sourcing parts here in EU is real pain in the a** and at the end, I was not even able to get everything I wanted.
At least now I know how easy is to order a kit from Nik.
...anyway, I have what I have and now the fun part starts...  Grin

My first eyelett board build ever  Wink

Well obviously the plate resistor is not RN65D type and caps are not Sprague PS but 716 (except 0.47uF, that one is 225P).
I also couldn't find 1K3 cathode resistor, I used 1K4 instead.

Nothing much is going on, I'm waiting for this big sticker which I design for my faceplate... nothing fancy but still takes time.  Wink

All I managed to do so far is this...

Erwin, what are your voltages?

These are mine...

I found out what was the reason for my strange voltage...

...I somehow used 820K instead of 820 dropping string resistor. Now I need to find it somewhere  Angry ... I called my tech and he has only 1K available... I will take it, I just can't wait to hear this thing sing.  Smiley
