The amp in the link is similar to mine (it has the aluminum tube covers and extra grid wires) but I don't see the big 30uF caps that are in mine.
The aluminum tube covers are shields. Tube grids are where the signal is put into the tube, so they're not extra. They could be screen grids, though, which I believe were grounded or held at some other DC potential (ground is a DC potential of zero).

Yeah, there was a lot of mediocre stuff out there. They love that crap at Audio Karma.
Marantz had such a line. Its brand was Imperial and its front panel had -- woo woo! -- backlit magenta lettering.
