Silly me...I thought I would have time to install the RF unit into the tuner, set everything on the bench, and try it out tonight.
Not so - the RF unit took longer to finish up and install than I thought it would.
First off, I discovered that I had forgotten to attach two wires to the RF tube socket in the RF unit; this was soon taken care of.
After two hours or so of work, the RF unit was in the tuner. I went ahead and mounted it in proper rather than trying to connect it loosely.

I not only went by the other RF unit and my notes to make sure each of the 16 wires was properly connected from the RF unit to the tuner, I also double-checked by comparing the wiring to the schematic. All is correct.
So...tomorrow, I will find out if this RF unit is going to work correctly. With all coils having good continuity, theoretically, it should. But the other RF unit had good continuity on all coils also. We shall see.
