After all the worry about the antenna female connector, I was able to salvadge the business end of the original and with my 80 watt soldering iron get it soldered to the tuning cap frame.  I just made sure the frame was nice and clean (a little sanding) so the solder would flow.  It not the neatest but actually a bit neater than what was there.  There was just enough of the bottom end of the connector to solder on the cap and wire that also needed to be there.

Terry, back in post #22  you mentioned making sure I check the voltage on the 200 uF cap that supplies the filament voltage for all the tubes except the rectifier.  Is my thinking for the following correct?  The tubes are 1.4 volt filaments each and there are 7 of them so I should make sure not to exceed 7 x 1.4 or 9.8 volts between the 200 uF cap and B-  .
