Also, I'd change the AGC coupling cap off the flyback - those were known to short and eat flybacks. I've not seen a CTC-7 flyback offered anywhere for years, so protect it in any way you can!

Cheers,

Thanks for the hint. I've got plenty of 6BK4C's here.

Ordered the capacitors a few months back before I got the set into the house. I'm fairly sure the AGC coupling cap was in the list. There were only a couple of capacitors that I couldn't find. We'll see how it goes.
