It is now under the shrink wrap, a stray shield wire maybe touching the input connection? I did cut it back as per instructions. The other end of shield is soldered to earth.

The two big valves light up, the small one glows also. No sound, not even a buzz. I guess I will be looking in the garage for the multimeter tomorrow.
