My raw B+ measures 340vdc. A/C line is 121v. Thoughts? Thanks.

Can you post a quick build photo showing the power transformer wiring just to be sure?  340V is a little bit on the high side, but not necessarily an issue if there isn't a miswire on the power transformer.

hi,
 the second resistor looks unsoldered IMO.

From that angle it looks that way but it really is soldered. Plus those r's are for the heaters.

You can proceed with the build, no issues there that I can see.
