Hi Terry

Thanks for the reply, I have been away for a couple of days. How do you suggest I check for the grid leakage? I have a Jackson 648 tube tester but it didn't show anything. Maybe if I can pin down the stage the noise coming from I can just swap tubes. I'll try that.

What do you think of the amount of ripple I am getting on B+? The radio decided to work properly again, I am sure for just a short time, and the ripple voltages are about the same as when all the noise is present.

Jim
