Well sometimes I think if I had a brain I'd be dangerous. Going over the wiring for the twelth time I fianlly found where I went wrong.
There was a 1-tab solder junction where the Ecap positive wires and several other wires joined that was attached to the chassis via the Ecap can stud & nut. I had replaced that solder junction tab with a two tab when I restuffed the large Ecap. I don't know why but I thought it was one where the two solder tabs were seperate from the part that bolted to chassis. It wasn't and so I had grounded the B+ to the chassis.
Radio playing now and hope to finish it up by tomorrow.
Thank for the help.
