Prior to Speedball, all voltages good, sound good.
After Speedball, Noise and no music left, right great
Following voltages:
OA: 62V
OB: 99V
G: 0V
B+: 176
All LEDs on
Thank you

Was terminal 5 0V when you first installed the front C4S board? When you resolve why terminal 5 is 0V, terminal 9 will move to what it's supposed to be.

Yes Paul, all voltages were spot on for the initial crack build

If you remove the 6080 and just run the amp with the 12AU7, does that voltage at terminal 5 increase?

Thank you, Paul, I will try to do a deep dive over the next couple of days to answer your question regarding the tubes and to focus on problems I may have caused during the upgrade. Thank you so much once again for your enormous expertise.
