Look great.

I made up a tone board like that with my caps in the circuit and main filters cap can.
Worked great.

Fantastic!

Nice build! If you don't mind me asking, what type of transformers did you use? I'm considering building a Rocket and I'm thinking about going with the following, but I'm not sure how "close to spec" these are.
Output Transformer: A470 S Triode at 4,300 Ohm (isn't the standard for the Rocket around 4,300 ohm?) http://triodeelectronics.com/noname.html
Power Transformer: Classic Tone TW Style http://www.triodeelectronics.com/40-18065.html
Choke: I'm still at a loss. Somehow I'm having a hard time finding specs for the Rocket's choke. What do I need? What did you use?
