Hi Mike,
Terry and I worked through this on the phone yesterday (that man has the patience of a saint). Now I'm at work and can't recall exactly what we did, but he was telling me the RF cans were ok after he walked me through which points to use for the resistance check. What we settled on as a possibility is that one of my tubes has a fault in it that doesn't materialize until after it gets hot. I need to clean all my pins and contacts (and the volume pot) with contact cleaner, too.
I could re-test the RF cans again though, wouldn't hurt. Which pins/locations do I use to test the resistance of each can?
EDIT: Actually, maybe it would be a good idea to test when cold, then turn on and test again after the signal drops?
