OK. It lives!
Last Sunday I installed the interstage (guess what, the wire colors were correct!) and today I installed the output xfmr. Yes it is ugly as I had to solder external inline fuse.
Then attached the tweeters, the woofer. Thought of powering up tomorrow but decided today. It took it about over a minute if not two to warm up: while some reaction was there when touching the grid caps, a full fleged hum appeared after that much time. And then I pulled the local station loud and clear. No music so cannot judge the tweeters and the quality but the speech is good.
More tomorrow.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
