The sockets and a few other bits are mounted, two sets of filament wiring, 12V for the driver.
The drivers are wired up. Normally I build the power supply first but once I mount the power transformer things will start to get heavy…John

Nice work John; what is the driver stage circuit?

Hi M, The driver is an Aikido, Same a line stage with 6SL7 input and 6SN7 drivers. This drives a transformer phase spliter direct to the 6A5’s…John

So then you don't need a pre-amp with it ehh?
Does the 6ug7 have any possiblities in the Aikido do you think?

Hi M,
Although not proven yet, I think I will have enough gain to skip the line stage. I have taken the precaution of installing a volume control

I do not find the 6UG7 in my references. Did you mean the 6U7G?…John

Yes Sorry John. I have a pair of them and Broskie lists them as possible 9 pin driver tubes. Can I ask you; the Aikido; you use the two octals as imput tubes and two as driver tubes for the 6A5's. Can you say a little about how you wire the transformer splitter into that circuit?
Thanks Much.

Hi M,
I think the operative word here is possible. You can use a pentode as the first tube. If you’re set on it but I might start with something like a 12by7 or ecc88(or is it 86?) or 6sj7 in octal. In any case none will work in your board, at least without a bit of redesign. What triodes do you have on hand?

As to the second part. I will post a schematic soon, easier than trying to write about it…John
