It crapped out about 5 minutes after posting my last post. AVC is now at -2.8 volts.
Screen grids of 6A8 and 6K7 are at 70 vs 90 volts. Don't know what they were prior. Plate volts are 220 vs 246 on 6A8 and 215 vs 237 on 6K7. B+ off rectifier is 280 vs 314 off the rectifier. So B+ is low and not much better with a different rectifier tube.
I checked the Candohm after running for a while and the resistance are off being 500, 35, 150 VS 300, 27, 125 ohms. I have 350, 20, 120 ohm resistors. I'm going to try with these and see what happens.
