HOLY SHIT, IT'S ALIVE!!!!!!! ALIVE!!!!!! MUAAHHHHHH HA HA HA HA HAAAAAAAA!!!!!
Everyone's asleep so I had to hotplate it and have it practically off, so I have no idea what it REALLY sounds like until tomorrow, but it already sounded like a JTM45, so this is going to rule. I'll record some sound clips tomorrow before I start doing any break-in, then post some post-break-in clips in a couple of weeks for comparison.
It figures I got a zap AFTER tha process was done. I saw a small scratch on the faceplate while I was playing, reached over to feel it, and my middle finder went inside the chassis and touched the standby switch inside quickly. OUCH, JESUS!!!! That'll learn me...
George, take a look at those readings and see if anything is out of line, but it appears all are within an acceptable range. I can't believe I pulled this off.
SO, it IS true that all you need to know is basic soldering skills to put this amp together. I took my time, paid attention, and I'll be damned... it worked.

Thanks to everyone who gave advice throughout the process. It was appreciated more than you know.
