Still need to replace 5 caps yet.. Then pin out the connections from the band switch .. To make sure I wired it correctly.. Then I need to order a 50L6 tube. I do not have one in stock.  I have a replacement for the 35Z5 tube and the others test OK..

I do want to make this more safe so I will check the web for ideas...

If all checks out then on to power up..
