"Now I am getting the full 3.5 watts voltage from the wiper of R10 to the grid of the 6C4."
Good, perfect.
"it definitely has more volume. Not Blues Jr. type of volume but much more than it had originally."
Have you tried both amps through the same speaker? Speaker eficiency can play a big role in overall volume. That amp should be about 3/4 as loud as the Junior through the same speaker. Otherwise there is still work to do.
"I do notice a bit of crappy distortion on the transients. It sounds like tube noise to me." AND "The Sovtek 6eu7 replacement I bought has some issues so I am limited to using the NOS 6EU7 that came with the amp."
Can you be more specific?
"Do you think that there is something else up with the voltages I have posted?" AND "Now I am getting 45volts on the plate of the 6C4 and 45/53volts on the grid of the EL84's."
Now that you've repaired the power supply and there is some signal getting through the amp it's probably time test the DC voltages. But 45 and 53 volts AC on the grids of the EL84s would be too much and seems odd to me. We may get back to that.
"I can't get a reading on the plates of the EL84's."
Thats because there shouldn't be any AC there. The voltages indicated on the schem are DC volts. They are marked for location. Test and compare.
