You got it, plate voltage was about 3 volts! I checked voltages throughout and all looked pretty good. Added a power resistor to drop line voltage to about 115V and aligned it this morning.

Learned a valuable lesson on this one. I will always check voltages as I bring a set up on the bench from now on. Between the hosed up electrolytics and the resistor issue, plus some other poorly done things I found underneath I think I'm pretty luck that nothing catastrophic happened. Cheap lesson too, it just cost me some of my free time.
