This is how wires are soldered.
Now, to add about the rest of the day's results: I tested the tubes and all except one, a 27, one out of 4, are good. One 27 had low MC and when tested for gas showed being quite gassy. I think I might have one, if not in stock then yanked from those radios waiting their turn.
I also tested the power transformer and it appears to be good.
The power switch was in megaohms whem closed. I fitted the Trolmaster (the thread is not quite the same but the diameter is the same so it could be locked somewhat), squirted some "D" (contact cleaner) Deoxit in it and it improved alot; now that it reliably conducts, turn-on/turn-offs might clean it some more.
Ready to power up.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
