I though maybe I would toss up a few pictures.
The 2A3 is there, but the other tubes are stand-ins.

I appreciate your patience.

I have tentative locations for the DC Link caps as per the blue foam replicas. I have some aluminum stock that I will run across the tops of those capacitors to secure them.

The choke can go in that general area as shown (156), I will see if I can find a null before I attach them.

The two pots will be located at the front near their respective sockets. These will also be secured underneath with some aluminum angle stock.

The grounds and 25W resistor will go in the center area.

So the layout is more or less finished, I can now run my B+, although some joints may remained un-soldered until I get the film caps etc.

I didn't wire my AC as I think I will need most of my black solid core for ground returns. I have some flex wire for this I could use if needed, I could use clear, as to distinguish the live AC from the grounds.

It doesn't really matter but I thought it would be nice to have the wires coded.

Here is the 8 colour code I came up with, omitting the 120VAC to PT.

Red - B+
Orange - HV secondaries
Brown - 5v heater
Green - 6v heater, speaker +
Blue - Plates
Black - Grounds, grounded elements, returns
Yellow - Cathode
White - 2.5v heaters
