Tested the tube, no shorts. Cap direction is correct. cap voltage rating is higher than the original schem called for, and none of the other caps are having a problem and they are all the same. Cap and resistor are already out. I will try to jumper the resistor in and see what I get across it.

There will be no voltage across the resistor if you jumper across it. It will also overheat and maybe blow the tube, assuming that is the cathode resistor.
I should have said jumper to it instead of across it.
I think he meant jumper leads to put the resistor back into the circuit, for testing purposes.. this layout isn't bad, I really like the use of bus wire as a ground down the middle, it's very RCA.
Thanks for the kind words. I have grown found of a central ground bus, very handy. A stripped secftion of #12 house wire works great.
