AndyRe: vol control
The following advise from Bruce in a prior message might help:  
 
"Check to make sure your 6V6 grid load resistors, (the pair of 220K ones), are grounded at their common point.  
If not, the power tubes don't have a bias relative to their cathodes.  
They will try to turn on fully at idle and can burn up if they draw too much idle current."
