If I can make them look pretty, I’ll keep them in. If not, they’re gone. 
On another note... motor run capacitors. I’m keen on using the 5uf of polycarbs ZM includes in the kits for bypassing output cap. That said, It looks like ZM also included a couple of handy pads for outboard caps, which means I feel some obligation to use them I picked up a couple of those 75uf beasts that Apex Jr is selling these days. Any other suggestions?

Still waiting on boards and trafos, but chassis’ arrived today. Two matching monoblocks, each equivalent to around 5U/350mm, and purchased from Aliexpress. Sinks need a touch of sanding, but otherwise great quality for the money. I’ve been matching parts and playing with wiring diagrams - Now time to start building this thing

They did not, and it took an interesting ride. It arrived in Chicago three days after you posted, so Serbian post (and ZM) is hero in this story. It sat in Chicago (nearby) for 12 days, then ended up in California (across country from me). Then slowly meandered back to Indiana, to sit in my local office for a couple of days before finally getting to me. Better than never!
One possible silver lining – the people at the 'main office' couldn't think of a reason serbian post shouldn't track at USPS.com (especially when USPS office can see it), so they opened a ticket to take a closer look. Maybe – just maybe – we'll be able to track serbian registered mail in the US soon

well,bloody idiots of all nations are always united 
why , TF, package - once when arrived in Postal system, being paid to be trackable - is not visible in same system?
my Postal system and Customs ( on top of everything) are giving me my headache....... obviously - you either have enough Serbs in USPS so everything is TF, or explanation is as I wrote in first sentence
good thing is - as I wrote - I still didn't had one sole lost package in all these years; had one back (obviously somewhere front address side got contact with few gallons of water) , and had recently one delivered, but wakoo Canadian Customs officer was evidently on some heavy drek, trying to investigate what can be hidden beneath soldered SOT232 critters
maybe few tons of cocaine, if I zipped/rared it properly

damn, all 3W resistor positions populated, some having pin sockets, no THF/182/180 specific values put on pcb
suspicious text on paper underside, so I can see that some various SIT's are going to be put to heat
my lips are sealed
(edit: considering everything, nice 4A fuse temporary placed in positive rail ........ could be cunning to have; when you're done with settings, remove it)

Uh oh, ZM paying attention to the details
- I wanted to have option to ‘tap’ mu at different spots, and putting 2 of the 5 R’s for each side should allow me to cover papa’s values.
- concerning the 317, all I can say is I like a little heat sink symmetry
- I have 4A slow blow at mains entry. So put another 4A temp at pos rail just for insurance, right?

ha!
who could expect that, from Mighty ZM?
yup; that's why I wrote "temporary"
