Assembly Question [resolved]

Terminal 10 by the 9 pin socket, not terminal 10 on the output transformer.
OK, so that rules out everything going on at the 9 pin socket.
Now check to be sure you also have 12V at pin 3 on the 4 pin socket.

As much as we could continue following this around, I think you should post some build photos. Specifically it would be good to see the area where the 47uF cathode bypass cap connects, as well as the cathode resistors.
The possibilities I see for what's wrong are:
1. The 47uF cathode bypass cap isn't properly connected.
2. The secondary wiring on the output transformers wasn't done correctly (in the manual where it says "to wire for 8 ohms, do blah blah blah).
3. One of the wires going to terminal 5 or 10 on the output transformer is loose or missing.

So it was a miswire at the output transformer. It makes sense that it was playing but at low volume. Now they are matched in volume.
Thanks for your help. I've often said that half the fun of the hobby of kit building is the building, but the other half is troubleshooting and the satisfaction of getting the assembly working at the end.

I'm glad you found the issue, and I'm thankful it was something simple and accessible.
