I plumb forgot the larger decoupling capacitors on the schematic

Oops! The 5 muF film capacitors shown on the power supply schematics are the bypass caps for a larger capacitor that should also be shown. In my case, there was a F&T 32 + 32 muF dual electrolytic on hand, à la El Cheapo's B2+ supply. This larger cap was left out of the schematic!





The 22 muF film caps recommended above might be better than the F&T with film bypass. I have used metalized film Solen caps with success.





For motor run capacitor lovers, 22-24 mF "oilers" should work well, but space will probably be a factor in casing up this amp, given the CCSs, bias supply, adjustment pots, etc.
