Hi,
Since no one else has chimed in I will try to help.
> Could this mean that the remote’s type 30 tube is weak?
Possibly. If you access to a known good tube tester, check it and see how it reads.
Also - there is a .05 uF paper capacitor, part (127), inside the remote control unit. Has it been replaced? There is also a 500 ohm resistor, part (128). Have you checked it to see if it is still within 20% tolerance? If not, replace it.
Service info for the 39-116 may be found here:
