THANK YOU all for your great suggestions and ideas. I'm happy to report the radio is now singing as it should. The culprit? There was a short between the outer two terminals of the #22 bakelite block. I was getting continuity across the .015 mfd capacitor. After re-doing the block it came alive. Voltages are much closer to where they should be. 210 volts on the plate of the 6F6 and getting 19 volts across the 6R7.... which is a whole lot better than the 2.2 I was getting Icon_thumbup

Next up replace the speaker wires, do an alignment and this chassis should be done.
