Did the power up as and took reading on c-98 neg. to chassis. I get -15.1 volts. I had line voltage at 115v and it was drawing 2amps. Band set on FM. I tested all the tubes and the 2-12at7 tubes in MPX section were bad. Replaced them before the test.
The test speakers I had hooked up played clearly and balance control was smooth btwn left and right.
Should I replace anything else or just the parts recommended so far and then address the bias issue?
Thanks for helping on this.
