Dang Pith, this thing is going backwards. On prior posts you were getting some sound out of the speaker and now your getting no voltages anywhere? Not having worked on this model but it really sounds if you don't have the speaker plugged in. The speaker with it's field coil allows the B+ voltage to continue to the set. If your meter is set to DC and you get no voltage on the plates of any of the tubes, either the speaker is not plugged in or it's field coil is bad.
After that nice vacation, and all that relaxation, did you forget to do that?

Wondering if I did it backwards.
If a coil was wound backwards, the oscillator would not work at all.
