I built it and was very unhappy. The drive to the 300B is very non-linear. I completely modified it, which involved a lot of track-cutting, joining and totally new components. I also used only one side of the 6SN7, to give a single tube driving circuit.
 
I converted my first board to change the direct couple between stage 1 and 2 to capacitor couple between stage 1 and 2. No trace cuts. Post 124, 125, in above link.

I am working on a conversion to Cascode per Stephie's design. Here:

Again, no trace cuts.

The 5U4 has to be mounted by rotating 1/9 turn clockwise relative to the other tubes. (Post 79 of the thread in my post above).
