just managed to find out today what a HEIC file was
Probably the default image format for most, if not all, phone cameras these days. I had to change a setting on my Samsung (Android) phone to produce JPG format instead, as I find HEIC a PITA.

Those 3 loose resistors are 20k, 50k, and not sure, maybe 200 ohms? I can't see enough of that one.
The schematic is loaded with errors and there's no way the radio could work if it was really wired that way.
- The rectifier doesn't use pin 7, I'd say it should be pin 8.
- The 6V6 cathode resistor is missing.
- The top of the diagram is cut off, so I can't see some important things
- The valve next to the 6V6 which in the photo says 6SK7 should in my opinion be a 6SQ7
- AGC circuit has no supply, not connected to the detector
- The choke is connected wrongly.
- The tone and volume controls are swapped around.
I didn't look further, you need to fix what I've mentioned first.
The photo of the top isn't there yet, but I will be sure to look for it.

I all again and thanks for your input. My next question is this; What is the average operating voltage of the I.F. Transformers? Keep in mind I have no schematic except for the drawing I have provided.
I have 312+Vdc on one primary of the first IF transformer which then loops to the 2nd IF then to the oscillator coil & RF coil. I thought this may be a little high, is it?
Is there is an average operating voltage for the primary side of each IF transformers. From the net I get 50 to 100 Vdc
Both coil resistances of each IF is 8.3ohms if that helps, the RF and oscillator coils are different.
Thanks.
Regards.

If your circuit is correct, there is no path from the 6V6 cathode to ground so it won't draw any current, so the HT voltage will be high. Did you replace the resistors removed before powering up?
As Robbert suggested, you need to attend to these points before anything else.
