Also, with respect to the power transformer, the 6.3V winding for the tube filaments will read almost a dead short, so if this is the winding you are referring to its not a problem.

Ah, good...thanks!  I'll check it out.  But if I end up using that transformer I'll have to figure out a way to mount it and will have to mount a second 12v CT transformer for the heater circuit.  I'd really like to find the right one.
