I am listening to all your advice and will probably revert to stock and do the Curico Triode when the 100 ohm resistors arrive.
There is another clue, I just noticed the wires to the the pots were moved from the pots to ground, they are still connected to the circuit board. I have ran it the way it is now for at least half an hour, The tubes look normal--there is no hum-the outputs stay cool-the power transformer is only warm, there is just the problem of the static over the music.
