A heads up on power!
If you're tinkering with tubes you've got to be careful. Not only can you ZAP yourself something fierce, but if left unchecked, an excessive current drawn can cause the board to burn up on you. Based on the trace width and thickness of the Tube Buddy B9A, be careful not to exceed about 4 amps of current and 300V.
