Have you tried touching the volume control center connection with your meter lead or a hot soldering iron? You should get a loud buzz in the speaker when you touch one of those connectors if the audio amp section is working. Sounds like your output stage is working somewhat. Have you tested your tubes? A weak tube could send you in circles hunting for ghosts. I also know the 6A8 is a little odd, so you may not be oscillating. Might have to sub it to check, since it may check fine on the tube tester.

Give the tuner a good wash in Dawn and hot water. Then set tuner in a plastic container and cover with vinegar let soak ...David — 12:53 PM

If you have rust between the vanes, I wonder how you get the NJ in between, and how you then wipe it off.morzh — 12:02 PM

If the noise is still there, the OPT might just be OK. Or so we hope.morzh — 12:01 PM

You would probably be replacing the OPT.RodB — 10:54 AM
