I'm working on a 40-195 and have recapped, checked resistors. The radio is the run with a 6J8 in place of the locktal tube. The radio comes on and tunes now, picks up lots of stations however the sound is crackly and warbly. The 7G7 (repl for 1232) locktal will make a little noise when it is manipulated in the socket. Is there a remedy for this? Don't know if this tube maybe the culprit as it tests fine with no shorts. All other tubes tested fine as well. The 42's tested a little low but they do as a rule I was told many years ago. Any help that can be offered would be greatly appreciated!
