Some progress 
As this amp is really unbelievable good, I thought the finish should be something different.
So there will be two cases, one for the amp itself and one for the xformers
Here some porn, one pic from the xformer unit during assembly, and the front and rear plates; everything ordered, delivery until end of May
Xformer unit with Anteks...
...and the fronts and rears:

I see you're probably going for XLR for power connectors
to do it properly, just a reminder - best to use 4pin for 2x12Vac line, and 5pin for 2x15Vac lines, to be different not just to signal ones but also between them
you can even use just one 6pin, for both 2x15Vac lines
ZM was smart in past, using 3pin XLR for everything, thinking that "I'm only one who's going to play with these, so no possible mixup"
edit: Antek, Vienna?
couldn't find anything else?
I know that decision about separate case came somewhere in between (after ordering Donuts), but if going to outboard/separate xformer case, you can freely use EI xformers (even better - less Drek reaching from mains) and save Donuts for something where they're making positive difference

Neutrik ones are having same case, any number of pins
do it properly, less tears later
above was illustration of later experience beating my flawless logic
edit:
some hair splittin' :
Iron Pumpkin - Xformer Unit
maybe more logical to call it PSU or whatever
important xformers are in Turtle

Some progress and therefore some porn
Front and rear panel of the amp arrived today - only to discover that I made a typo on the rear plate
"Engeneered"... come on, really?... I checked everything 20 times, but...
Anyway, I will solve it somehow (I think with a sticker, maybe).
So, here they are. Some connectors are mounted, the others are still in use in the amp.

naah, leave it, it's perfect
somehow close to both my status (certainly more engeneer than engineer) while also explaining my approach - Futile Attempts Method
okay, thanks for the argument
And the issues: the main issue is the hum 
The transformers are about 70 cm away from the amp, but there is hum. Weird: the amp itself produces some mechanical hum/resonances - the noise comes from inside, it is like the "sound" of an old transformer with loose windings, or I don't know. In the next days I will try to find out where the source of the hum is.
But it sings beautiful

Looks like you have an HP 141 Spectrum Paralyzer system. Is it the vers with the storage CRT?
That setup was an easy sell, we did a great business here with them. A joy to demo, my favorite!
