That cap job is a persuasive argument as to why one should not let children under 5 years of age change caps unsupervised...

Ok,

I've got the electrolytics hooked back up to the original. I fired it up under a variac and I still cannot get the tubes to light. My fusible resistor is in and all of the tubes test good. I even jumped the on/off switch as I know they're often faulty. Of course I've gotta go through all of the resistors and caps as usual, but any thoughts why I'm getting none of the filaments to light?
