Well after I wired the electrolytics, I did not have HV on the plate of the output #42 It took me a while to find that problem. The rectifier socket was still dirty and the socket was not holding the #80 tight enough..........

So now I get screeching, motor boating and scratchy noise when I put my finger on the 1st detector tube #77. If I put my finger on the grid cap and steady pressure on the chassis I get a clean tone. Is that a ground problem somewhere?

Thanks Ralph
