Hi there, DIY guys!
I've been a reader of the forum for a while, but I've never posted anything... Now I think I might need your help.
I was wondering if anyone could give me a little bit of help on this Apex 460 that I modded so well that it doesn't work anymore. : /
I got my capsule / kit through Canadian Audio Distributors... so that's a transformer/capacitor/capsule mod.
I must have screwed something up on the way doing this, but i'm not sure what, and now I'm at a bit of a loss. Basically, it seems as though it powers up, and the tube glows orange, but no sound is actually produced. If i crank up the gain all the way, then I can hear some of my voice through the capsule, but it's a very small amount and it's incredibly noisy.
I'm not particularly savvy with electronics, so I'm wondering if anyone might be able to help suss out what the problem might be. I have a multimeter, but unfortunately no voltmeter or anything of the like.
I've also included a bunch of pictures in case that might help.
Please let me know your thoughts!

OH! all the pictures are viewable at imgur.com/a/mDu2K . I tried posting them in this thread, but they were too big, apparently, and I couldn't create a link either (sorry about that).
