The resistor held up this time but the signal got very weak suddenly after it played for 30 seconds I'm going to finish all the paper caps and replace some of those wires. Many in that area are real black and hard like they were very hot for a long time I though I had some pins with nothing on them reading shorts to ground also. I'll be going through it completely tomorrow, thanks for replies. I'll try without tubes except for the 5u4g also that's new and two 6v6 tubes are new too , looks like it's going to be a slow process of elimination.
