Yes Norman,

I noticed that choke is right down on the chassis, underneath 
everything. So far I've gotten the wiring replaced, but I'm waiting on a 
new choke. Still not sure what happened. I haven't really looked at the 
tubes yet either. My choke was a black mess, so something must have 
shorted right to ground from that 6.3V line, as well as burning all the 
wires back to the plug into the IF. Luckily they're not too hard to get 
to. Not as bad as taking the mechanical filters out. I did have to pull 
out the var cap for the calib osc, as well as a bunch of parts around 
that tube. Hope I get it all back together right.
