Don't know what I did but things are not right. I replaced all the caps and resistors. A lot of the old ones were hanging tied together and I had a hard time trying to get back according to the schematic. I have a box I made with an AC voltmeter and 1 amp meter I hook to my variac for power checks. When I applied power with no tubes installed, after less that 10 volts I hit the 1-amp mark on the ammeter, so I shut it down. Need to find where the short is without burning something up. I think I am at the point where I can't see the forest from the trees. Any ideas to get me back on track?
Thanks,
George
