I marked all the tuning capacitors on the if cans
I exercised their position left and right a whole lot this evening
right now it seems like something has fixed itself because the 6 SQ 7 pin number 6 now seems to maintain about 37 to 40 volts DC
however...
Eventually the set will break down and the voltage on pin 6 will begin to drop
effectively the problem Still Remains
who wants to take this on as a set to repair because I'm not Advanced enough to figure it out
I do not own a signal tracer
