Alright, a bit of an update. I rewound both of the coils today, baked the forms and coated with lacquer. Everything is reinstalled and wired back, and after a quick run through of my connections, I powered it up with a 25 watt bulb and the 80, 75 and 42 tubes, which yields about 80ish volts. I immediately got a hum out of the speaker, and a 20ma draw on B+ into the field coil. Touching the cap of the 75 created pops and buzzes, so the audio section appears to be working fine. I'm taking that as a great victory; at least I haven't wired anything on the high voltage side egregiously wrong.  And half the tubes are good so far.
After an unfortunate homework break tonight,  I'll put the rest together and try to pick up a real signal. Thanks again for everyone's help!
