I found what smoked, it was the 10uH choke on V205 pin 9. That explains 
all the burned wires to that point. I had to remove a whole bunch of 
stuff around that tube to find it, burned to a crisp. It's buried under 
everything. But still doesn't explain why it burned up, I must have a 
tube with a shorted filament, or I got it in wrong somehow. The 5000pf 
bypass cap measures fine. Even the capacitance measures good. I have 
some replacements, I'll change it anyhow. Now where to get a 10uH choke, 
what's the current rating on it?
