My repairman came over and we exchanged information. The "frying bacon" sound is coming from a microphonic 6F6 output tube. All the electrolytic and almost all the wax caps are replaced. The var-cap is removed to replace the worn-out grommets. I found one spare 6F6 tube in my stash but need another. New tubes will be ordered next week then the chassis will be reassembled and the shadowmeter installed and adjusted and the unit realigned while waiting for the new dial. After this then we restore the cabinet! Three months left?
