I just ran a tube check on one of the two 6F6G tubes- actually, a 6F6GT that was in place of the original 6F6(The other had been replaced with an entirely different tube, and I put in a good used 6F6 from Radio daze)
Using a Precision Model 612 and proper data:
The 6F6GT tested good, except when the toggles were flipped: Number 7 glowed the short lamp, which it should have, but Number 8 also glowed the short lamp- a low glow, but definitely glowing when it should have been dark. Could this be my low/lost volume issue? I am currently in a deep stage re-teardown, and I'm about to take apart the subchassis... Although giving me an opportunity to correct a couple things I thought about doing but passed over, I really am not too hot for the idea. (This tube had been checked by a friend, and I suspect it may have been placed in the wrong pile- in good instead of bad: otherwwise I'd have replaced it)
Waiting for an answer- Thanks!
