Hi Ron, 

If I am reading the schematic right (And that may be an issue, as I am fighting either a bug or the effects of the COVID  Vax Booster), it appears that you eliminated the cathode bias resistor. (Maybe resistance really is futile?? Icon_wink )  Try  putting it back in.  Both units use a voltage divider in the B- Return to create an ersatz "C-" supply, but there is more resistance in the 38-18 than the 54. 

Hope this helps.
