Brief Update
Well I am proceeding slowly (probably best that way). Due to the difference in size of the components I am removing the old ones and then just putting the new ones in with full lead length and not soldering until I get everything in that area in place. That way I can make final layout decisions about routing components before cutting leads to length and soldering in place.
With all the resistors I have on hand you think that I would have what I need but the 470K grid resistors on the output tubes (6V6) are drifting upward and I only have 560K and 330K. 560K exceeds the maximum allowable value. Do you see any problem with using 330K or should I drop into Rat Shack and pick up some 470K carbon films? I am replacing the .05u coupling caps with .047u but that is still only 113k at 30Hz so it seems like it shouldn't be too limiting as far as frequency response unless it interacts negatively with the screen current self inverting scheme.
The other thing I have found is that several tube sockets have lost one or both of their mounting rivets so I will have to bolt those in. This is especially important as they have used the sockets as ground points. I tend to like Nylock nuts. Any reason not to use those to secure the sockets?
