Got all the components installed! Was able to tune in a couple of stations but did run into a problem. One of the two 7B7 tubes I replaced had an intermittent short inside the glass envelop. First time I have ever seen this. The plate pin would short to the overall shield pin. This would completely ground the B+. Put in the old tube which is weak but worked. I sent an email to Tube Depot to ask for a replacement, we'll see how they respond. Regardless, the tube will have to be replaced.

Good news! Tube Depot has a 90 day warranty and sent me a shipping label so I'll get it in the mail. When they receive it, they will send me a replacement.
