Looks great, nice and simple... I ordered two kits, partly because of the 10% "two-fer" price redcution, but mainly since I wanted to build one up as stock, and the other one as the experimental guinea-pig "Franken-Quickie".
One thing I notice in the photo, usng insulated RCA jacks on a non-conductive chassis plate is kinda like wearing both belt and suspenders ;-) Butr then, Franken-Quickie will mostly get built up on a cast metal box, so they would be needed.
I know, I'm jumping the gun a bit here, but please be patient with me ;-)
Just thinking, if the "cathode" to grid voltage differential happens to fall within normal LED operating voltage ranges, would using LED "bias" instead of the standard paralleled resistor and cap, be a good mod?
That would also solve the pilot light question, at the same time.
