So, I put everything together and do a brief burn in. So far it is working "ok". I only had a couple DJ speakers to try it on handy, so thats what I used. I connected my cheap china tube preamp and my phone. It performs but I do have a low 60 cycle hum I'd like to eliminate and "some" occasional noise - suspect the preamp tubes. Sounds like tube noise anyway. Gonna pop a couple 6GH8A tubes in the socket and see if anything improves. Yes, both filament windings are grounded. I also added line caps since it seemed to pick up AC line interference. More to come later.
I swapped the ground and 8ohm leads on the output transformers. I may check a little more, I'm not 100% any of those leads match the diagram on the transformer.

If I could find the place called "Somewhere", I could find "Anything"
