Oops, I didn't replace that cap in mine, I thought it was a silver mica. I'll make a note to replace it the next time I pull the chassis.

I also chose not to pigtail the HV caps. Getting the solder to pool just right in the cups was a bit of challenge, though. I found it best to orient the chassis so that the solder cup I was working on was horizontal, otherwise gravity causes too much of the solder to spill out.

Looks like you're getting close to the first power-up.
