I added the innards of the tube to the schematic. I do get 125V from pin 2 to pin 7, and the singed hair on my knuckles indicates that the heater is working. Sometimes I can learn something from tube data sheets, so I downloaded RCA and Tung-Sol sheets, but I've gained little from that. I keep jumping from one question to the next, and I thought it best to post the revised schematic now instead of waiting for a revelation.
There seems to be a consensus developing that I've mixed up the coil terminals. It'll take me a while to follow up on the latest advice.
Gotta cook dinner now. Thanks.
