OK. I have rewired to exactly match Ron's final schematic. Got 117VAC going in. Suppose to have 350V from plate to cathode of the 80. I have 180. When I momentarily disconnect the white wire from the field coil, I get exactly 350.
So I went back again, and rechecked the entire circuit (for about the 5th time). Field coil ohms out like it should. So does the output transformer. So do both IF's, and the antenna and oscillator xformers. Plate voltages are all at zero. Tried a different rectifier. No change. Nothing seems to be shorted, and no connections missing.
Can't focus anymore, so I thought I'd take a break and see what others think.
