A little progress today. The tube sockets, short of the heater wires, are complete. I broke one wire from the eyelet board, and another was too short. The nice thing about real eyelets, now that the backside jumpers are secured by the fiber backing board, is they will take a lot of abuse, and no problem reheating, sucking out the solder, and doing them over. Many of the jumpers were too long and I cut them a little (should have taken more) and took advantage of the pushback insulation. I verified every connection with my meter before moving to the next.
I'm thinking a job offer from Headstrong is not in my future :~).
