I know this pic is small, but I can seem to spot a bias pot anywhere. I hope there is one

I do not see one but I am sure there must be one. Does not look too bad at all for all of the knobs on that amp.
I wonder if they are metal shafts??

Probably plastic shafts I would guess, I wonder if the pots are chassis mounted or "floating" like the JVM though :roll:

Looks very clean, and the boards look like they are well laid out and of decent quality. Too bad all electronics being shipped over seas now have to be RoHS compliant...meaning that most of the components cannot use leaded solder...meaning that with tin plating, it can result in "tin whiskers" 
Sorry for the useless (kinda) information, but this is making me really nervous about the life expectancy of electronic devices. All I do for a living is check the compliance of different electronic components, and reading about all this has some nasty thoughts going through my mind....
End random-ass food for thought.
Oh and PCB-mounted tube sockets---

Yea I am not a big fan of board mounted tube sockets, it looks like the power tubes are mounted on that recessed board.
ROHS sucks man. I love how the military and Medical are exempt

Exactly. Or how for China RoHS, parts staying in-country or being exported are exempt. like "we dont want your lead and stuff, but here's ours"
Snake oil, to an extent, if you ask me....But it's keeping me gainfully employed for the next 5-7 years.

I found it! Its a blue dial located just to the above left of those 4 black capasitors on the far left of the chassis. My VHT Pittbull has the same dial to adjust the bias.
