Radio is up and running, i found the real cause and problem.

It was not the socket on the 6sq7,, it was something more in line with the types of problems i generally have which are exceptionally strange and odd while being valid and not caused by any of my doing.

funny thing is the fix only takes about 1 tenth of a second to perform.

will update tomorrow with pics of how i isolated and nailed down the cause.

i was very skeptical about the socket being bad because after closer examination,,, they are pretty much bullet proof.
