So I guess all I needed was your moral support guys! I just went back to the radio and noticed that the super-genius that I am installed the main capacitors (the only ones that I have that are polarized) backwards! So... essentially as soon as the rectiver circuit came to life, the caps shorted and took the tube which took the filament which took the pilot light out.....

Anyways, I can't be happier that you all have been such a help. I have had the set on for about 2min and am going through all the test points in the documents that Chuck sent me.

I'll send an update and pics when (hopefully) I finish testing and re-assembly!
