Tomorrow I can turn it up

It's looking great, M29! I do have one added suggestion, per the cooling, FWIW....
The VJr.'s stock values on R10 and R14 can be changed to help reduce the B+ voltage and reduce dissipation to the EL84. This will help reduce heat and should add some longevity to the little PC board.
R10-change to a 1K 3 Watt resistor
R14-change to a 240 or 270 1 Watt resistor
Here's a pic that might help w/ the OT swap also.If you zoom it in you'll see a couple of "handy hints" I added when I did mine. It will save you time.
