Note that, earlier you made a bridge between the two middle pins on the 0–300–0–300 windings
of the Mains and connected a long Black 18g wire to it. Now,

Connect the Black wire coming from this bridged point to the M2 Power Supply board in the

GND position located near the '13V6' tabs.

Connect the Red–Red twisted pair that comes from the '300V' points on the M2 board to the

top and bottom pins of the 0–300–0–300 windings of the Mains. Here's a picture of that
connection:

Now connect the Green–Red twisted pair that comes from the '13V6' on the M2 board to one

of the two '8's and the '0' on the 8–0–8 winding of the Mains, as shown.

Connect the Green–Red twisted pair that comes from pins 2 and 7 of the 8-pin valve base to

the 0–6.3 winding of the Mains, as shown.
