Guys.. Thanks for the help. I learned how to track down a circuit without a PC board. I was able to use the detail as well as the bits and pieces of info about tubes and the pin setup and I found 2 wiring mistakes, my mistakes of course, that put my PMV (dim bulb tester) to sleep!
The 60W dropped right back but it didn't start out very high as I am used to for getting those caps jump started. Then after about 2 seconds, I started to hear something very faint and my gut reaction was to flip the switch on the PMV which I did. It wasn't like a crackle or a fizz but more like a faint hiss. Anyway, there was no smell or smoke or heat that I could tell. I still have no tubs in, but that pin 2 and 7 on the 6F6 are still showing ground to chassis. After figuring out which pin is which... 3, 4, 6 and 8 are not grounded... 1, 2, 5 and 7 are. 6 isn't used.
Should I turn the thing back on? I'll wait for now.
