    Building, troubleshooting and testing of these amplifiers should only be

    the safety precautions around high voltages.

Any led ideas to "light up" the inside of a tube amp

You might be able to find tiny LEDs that fit into the center opening on 9 pin tubes, ala McIntosh. You can then use the heater supply through a diode and suitable limiting resistor and maybe a small smoothing cap to power the LEDs. Personally I let the tubes do the lighting for me.
