Wow so many learnings!
Before I touch anything, I need to know as much as I can about the circuit etc. I am going to get my father-in-law to put this together with me as he is a sparky, but I don't just want to let him do it. I want to learn as much as I can.
For those of you who don't know Uncle Doug on You Tube. He's a legend. Let me introduce you:

How Tube Amplifiers Work, Part 2: The Pre-Amp and Power Amp https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=901iaPVVzY0
(the 5F1 circuit is similar to the 5E3 circuit)
This is also a pretty nifty video on saftey: DIY: Amp Safety 101 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DkEc58-vWc4
Edit: I put this here to remind me to read it. https://robrobinette.com/How_The_5E3_Deluxe_Works.htm
