It sounds like the 7x7 and the 6v6s voltages are symptoms of the same problem. The overheating of the plate of the 7x7 says there is too much current flowing there. In reference to chassis ground what are the voltages on the 7x7 again. And check the two resistors that are hanging on the grid of the 7x7 pin 3. The 10meg and 1meg make sure they are connected correctly.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!RESISTANCE IS FUTILE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
