Well I know now that 4 tubes are bad/marginal and one is an older sub (6C5) for a 6J5. With both output tubes bad I can understand high distortion.
Permit me my folly to ask an old but perhaps stupid question: The chassis is bereft of tube shields. The aforementioned tubes are shouldered glass. Are these shields necessary? Are matched 6F6G tubes necessary and will Russian tubes suffice?
Getting sound is wonderful. Getting fidelity is awesome. Making steady progress with your help: this couldn't be done without you. D**n the money; full speed ahead! Waiting for her to come home.
Made in America: nobody does it better!
