Gents,
So after much discussion and help from you all; my amp is now fully functional Yellow_Light_Colorz_PDT_01 Yellow_Light_Colorz_PDT_02 Yellow_Light_Colorz_PDT_03
I just got done playing some Glenn Miller through my Fostex with the amp in Triode mode....Simply fantastic !
The amp does have some hum though; and right now the troubling thing for the Power Transformer is that the lowest I can get my bias on the KT88's is about 85mA. I'd be happier if it were down around 70mA - So I may have to swap that resistor on the SDS board.
Regardless, minus those issues; it really does fill the room with sound through my Choruses. Once I fix my growing pains I'll report back more.
Pics of the guts can be found back on this thread:

Thanks again to everyone for their relentless help !
