Looks fine but don't expect to much power at that B+ level. Say around 2watts. I used mine at 400volts on the plate to get 3.5 watts. I say go for it. Carefull with the feedback connection only, the rest is allright. I find that due to the feedback, some buzzing might take place. But SE with some small amounts of feedback is great and ideal for better bass control

Replace the 1N4007 diodes with UF4007 diodes and instead of the bridge rectifier shown for the filaments, build a bridge with four Schottky 5 amp diodes, all available from Mouser. Use a small piece of perf board from Radio Shack to build the filament bridge. Have fun!

Oops! Just noticed where you are. Go ahead and build as designed. If you then want to try the Uf/Schottkys send me an e-mail with your mailing address and I'll build replacement rectifiers for you. The components are easily available and inexpensive here in the USA.
