excuse my use of the venacula here but I'm shite at building stuff. 
can't solder to a board worth a damn.
although I wonder, is there some other way around this slight issue?

this pearl of wisdom:
> Possibly, but it might cause some issues because of the meter's sensitivity. 
> You can  tune for max output, but that could result in driving the tubes a bit 
> too hard.  There are voltage-controlled audio oscillators that one can build 
> relatively inexpensively to hook across the meter to give you a direct meter
