Checked traces (I'll check again) but haven't troubleshooted extensively yet. btw, I used J201 (not J201A) and 50v 10uf Electrolytic (not 25v) and somewhat concerned about the 100pf cap (looks like mine says 101. Should be correct). I'll get back in touch.

101 is 100pF
50V caps are fine. Greater voltage is always okay.
J201 is correct. I think the "A" was a typo.
NOTHING should get hot, or even mildly warm.
