It’s alive! I retensioned the socket pins and resoldered the resistors R1-2-4. This seemed to do the trick. Lesson learned:
1) Be careful with the socket pins when expanding them. The tube should be a little snug when inserting into socket.
2) use a little more solder when putting in the resistors and capacitors.
Brach, thanks for the help. The amp sounds good so far.

Brach, thanks for the help.
here is what I have done:
1. retensioned socket pins
2. reflowed solder on all tube socket tabs
3. reflowed solder on resistors R7 R8 R13
4. still no hum or sound
5. test point T7 now has 1.4 Vdc instead of 32 mV
What next?
