BTW, you're not related to that fellow from Brooklyn, are you?

Jon,
Dont read all the postings on RAT (I'm reading more every day
though) I dont know anyone from Brooklyn except Harvey Rosenberg
(RIP).

I looked at Mike Turners schematic. That's close to what I want but
with 6SL7, and solid state current source. I wish some of these
projects would have a photo showing parts layout and also sourcing for
critical parts (RIAA etc.)

Im considering a hammond aluminum box or just an aluminum plate.
Also thinking about Audio Electronic Supply regulated power supply
remotely located.
