Hi Nick,
Yes the U26 should just about glow in order to be able to provide enough current for stable EHT. The low boost voltage is surely connected to the low EHT problem, so if you solve that the EHT may well come back up to the right voltage. Lets hope the LOPT is ok.

Anyway, great work so far. I always love to see basket cases brought back from the brink. There are many ways to go about a restoration, but I feel it is with the real basket cases that we have the most options. You know that preserving originality is impossible anyway, so in a sense you have a blank canvas to restore it in which ever way you like.

Cheers
Andy
