I still find it weird that it was never wired like schematic shows.
Anyway, now that I have the signal strong, whenever there was bass in the sound, I heard a popping or clipping noise. I remembered that I had removed the original Sylvania 35C5 Audio Output tube, and replaced it with a spare Zenith one I had. Swapped in the original, and no more popping!

Thanks for your help, Reece!
