This next pic is a shot at my power area. it has the upper tube (not working) as well as the power jack and the wire running to the switch. the green terminal is used to ground wires. all wires in that connection are solidly screwed down.

Thanks for all your patience and help regarding my project. I believed i could do this before I started, and its very frustrating to be stuck and feel so close. Any help or ideas to help clean up my wire mess would be appreciated. Where can I find those connection terminals/braces that lots of people have used in their build? its the one where people usually bolt it down to their tube socket. If i knew what that was called i would definately use those for my next build.
The connection points in a terminal block DO NOT connect to one another. Unless you somehow bridged the different connections together, this defeats your grounding.
Indeed it seems you're very very close, so I'd recommend you do not give up! Just give it a rest, for a few days, even a week so you come back to the project with a clean state of mind. Rushing it is the best way to mess up an electronics project, particularly when it's your first
cheers!
