With respect to your SW 1495, that is an excellent set!!

If I remember correctly, the SW 1495 has a couple of 600V caps you should be aware of. Also, the initial V on the filter electrolytics was over 500. I believe that this was because I ran it on 120V without any step down, so you might want to consider 500 or 600V electrolytics. OR some kind of device to step the AC line voltage to 110.

Also, be careful about substituting another heavy-duty rectifier for the 5V4, as the 5V4 has a cathode on one of the filament pins.
