Did you replace the resistors in bias divider? Looks like they are 350 and 50 ohms off of the choke or FC. Can you see the heater glow in the 6Q7 and the 6F6? -21 shouldn't stop it from working at all. All of the other voltages look good. Could have a bad connection between the tube and it's socket. Touch pin 5 of the 6F6 should get hum.

I've got a .015 between pin 3 of 6Q7 and pin 5 of 6F6 and the heater glows in both. After that, I'm lost. I don't know what a bias divider or FC are. Another problem arose. I left the radio on for a while and now I don't hear the hum when I touch the top of 6Q7.
