RE: voltage drop

The 200 ohm resistor (grid stop resistor) goes between the screen grid and the plate, with the resistor itself as close to the screen grid pin on the tube socket as you can get it.

You want the lead, from the resistor to the grid pin on the tube socket, as short as possible.

The length of the resistor lead from the resistor to the plate connector is not important.

The wire from the output transformer goes directly to the tube's plate connection.
