THAT WAS EASY!!!

It's too early to hit up RadioShack for a new IEC so I just melted the terminals back into place, got the AC I needed. Fired it up.

Bulb limiter acted like it should.

Got 6.9 on the heaters (might put the resistors back in)

Voltages looked somewhat normal, so I plugged in.

The 4-4-0 is ALIVE!!!! It's a bit too early to crank this sucker up but it works, it is super gainy, and it's dead quiet.

thanks for the help guys! my next post will be "how do i set the bias?"
