Can you post the IA, OA, IB, OB, and Kreg voltages on each side of the amp?

On the B side, what are your POS IN and POS OUT voltages?
I don't believe your 300B is conducting, but there are many causes for this particular issue.

I does not look like the cathode is drawing any current (tube is cold and no glow)
POS in is 15.75 volts
POS out is less than a volt decaying to zero

Check the socket itself. You may have a loose or oxidized contact on pin 1 or 4 (the bigger holes). That could prevent the tube from glowing, which would keep it from conducting.

No filament current is being drawn, and nothing is being supplied by the filament regulator board. This is most likely a faulty solder joint on that PC board.
