I finally got my last LA-2A issues straightened out. In three places I'd accidentally used 47K resistors instead of 470K. Because of the way my little multi-meter handles the decimal place (it floats around in various resistance settings), I didn't notice the discrepancy. So I was feeding one of the tubes like 10x too much juice and getting amplifier grunge if I tried to get reasonably hot output levels (really nice sounding grunge too, but not appropriate for this device.) Now it's sounding super-pimped-out-righteous and all and I can put this puppy back together and move on full bore to the 1176.

Whew....
