Here is the first tube amp I ever built. A friend drew a schematic on a note pad, I converted that to a formal schematic and this is how it turned out.

Wow, that is a gorgeous build!
In the first figure, what are the two black blocks on the left-hand chassis? The right-hand transformer I recognize, but what of the other (on the left) -- another transformer? Plate (B+) and filament transformers?
I like the way you oriented the chokes so as to minimize field interaction with the output transformers.
Bravo! - Don

The layout is so clean. It would almost be fun to fix if something went wrong. No hidden parts or tangled wiring.
This will help explain what is what. I tried to list manufacturer and part numbers where I could, just in case anyone ever wanted to build one.
