Regarding replacing the grid cap wire, I snipped the old one off leaving a bit of a "stump" on to which I soldered the new wire. I put a bit of silicone tape around the new wire so it couldn't easily be yanked out through the hole in in the ceramic piece at the top.

You don't really want to mess with the tiny transformer wires if you can help it. That's why I leave a bit of the old lead in place to connect the new one to.

Can't think of anything witty.
