Huh...of course, it`s not a kit, but a "living" project, no need for rush (give me more time for SE amps, I`m slow, too :-)). Doug and I are here every day, and I`m confident that it`ll be alright...:-)
Well, I`d build it with PS in the one (say left) corner, from the behind the chasis. Mains wiring (AC outlet, fuse holder, switch - all in the same place, only a few cm of wire. Then transformer(s), close to it, and rectifier tube. On the right corner - input jacks and (stereo) pot close to them, then 5687 - close to the input. Outputs jacks more to the center of the chasis. Leave the place for additional input jacks and selector switch, and couple of tubes (maybe one day we`ll find another "briliant" idea :-)). When look from the front, we`ll have some symmetry, I hope...
First measure everything, cut/drill the holes, mount heavy components first (transformers, caps, outlets, tube sockets...), then jacks, pot, CCS, etc.
And the last "joke" - of course, it`s not the one and only, "ultimate" way to build it, you can - for example...
(To be continued:-)).
