T-luxe,
I probably do have bad filament wires as I checked my pilot light with a regular battery and the light lit up, so I'm gonna rebuild it using better wire (in this sense stranded 20 gauge) instead of solid core wire plus stranded wire. I just ordered some parts from tubedepot like two octal sockets which I know will fit better than my last pair did. I'm debating on doing it with terminal strips which will allow me to better connect the wires up or just go with g10 turret board as I'm not a fan of the eyelets on fiber board, not enough room in that tiny chassis. I tried doing it with a homemade chassis but that was a debacle in an of itself a while back. I'm in the process of checking out all of my resistors too so any that may have burnt out from my past wiring jobs I can easily check and replace. I also have another PT that I might swap in as I rebuild it and then test out the PT that I tried to use for this build and see if it (the filament) is gone or not. Either way, it's still a fun project and I'm not gonna stop until it gets done. :-)
