If it makes you feel better, I will admit that an electrolytic cap exploded in a set I was working on last night because I accidentally connected it to the filament pin rather than the cathode. Just a little 5 uF guy, but still a pretty nice "pop." We all make mistakes! Good luck as you continue your project.

To adjust the range of the hold control, see my post further up this thread about changing the value of the resistor in series with the hold control.
