112X Cabinet restoration
#26

Thanks!  I listen to it regularly but am having a couple of tube issues.  I want to keep all globe tubes in it but am having issues with more than 1.  Microphonics and slow warmup with sound coming on very suddenly with a pop, rather than slowly coming up in volume.  I haven't taken the time to substitute tubes to find the culprits.

Another odd thing in the finish.  If you look at the bottom of the sound board, you'll see bubbles at the intersection.  It appears that later layers of lacquer pulled away from the first layers.  Not sure why.  Trying to repair that not so serious issue.
