Problem I've come across is I'm getting no proper B+ ? I'm using the 5V4 rectifier and 2 choke schematic. I have pulled my rectifier and find the AC side seems good voltage wise, I'm not sure if I bought a bad rectifier ( bought as testing new?) , or maybe my build has an issue and is shorting one side of the rectifier?? My tester shows it as basically dead on one half but that was after I realized I had ps issues. I never checked it when I first bought it... Also the fuse did blow when testing. What is my best method of troubleshooting this? Looking at the listing of this tube, it was listed as testing 95% one side and 94% on the other. I'm kinda feeling like like my build is the culprit here. I have visually gone over all the connections and can't see anything out of place or wiring that's mixed up.... I have built and serviced tube gear in the past but this problem is a new one for me .

Just wondering what recommendations there are for hook up wire? I have 22awg here but feel maybe not thick enough??

I'm starting to gather parts for the EL34 build In the BOM, a 5v4g rectifier is used. Can I sub a 5u4g here? I have 2 already.....
