Try your amp with his PS.

Put his tubes in your amp.

Test the tubes in your amp.

Put his tubes in your amp.
> Any ideas of what else to look for?
Make sure you have continuity in thr B+ and B- lines all the way from
the PS to the tubes. If you have a HV voltmeter, measure the HV at the
tube anodes. Are there any fuses in the B- line?
