OK finally an update. Had a chace to power up with the field coil plugged in, no more smoke. It appears that this was causing the load on #7. However no sound or hum. Now that I can power up and leave the power on, I will check voltages and it looks like I have a tube or two that may be questionable. Now all I need is some time.
