Ok so I have narrowed it down to the 6F6 tube and the part No. 43 resistor strip thing causing my 10K resistor to get crazy hot. Do I wire 3 resistors in series and somehow connect all the wires and stuff on it or do I somehow put a terminal strip on them. How would I do that?

I'll probably look up a video on how to replace a resistor strip.

If none of this works I am still a bit new to the radio stuff and I would genuinely have no clue what to do after that or to just give up on it sense its already costed me a lot of money and just move on to my other "simplistic" ones.
