I found the problem. I had some faulty wiring on the field coil. Unfortunately, now I'm getting low voltage on the plate of the 7C6 tube. The B+ voltage appears okay (90V), but when I measure the voltage on the other side of a 220k ohm resistor connected to the 7C6 plate, I get 10V where it should be 45V (see pic). I've thoroughly checked all solder joints and components associated with the tube. Have not located the culprit.
