It looks from the photo as if those resistors on pins 3 and 6 of all 16 different power tube sockets are soldered direct to untethered wires, on the resistor leads opposite to the tube pins. So you have uninsulated connections floating in air, 32 of them in fact. If any were to touch the chassis, you might have a disaster. I suggest mounting each of those free leads on a stand-off to stabilize them in space, to which you could then re-solder the wires that go to them. I hope I am making myself clear. OR it could just be an optical illusion I'm seeing.
