Thanks Arran for the reply. I have an ohmeter but can you explain how I can tell which is cathode side of socket. I assume If I ground to chassis I should not get a reading at all??
If I get a reading it would be a dead short to ground?
Also would it be wise to replace both electrolytics to tube 6X5. (exisitng are connected correctly with ground). And can I assume a regular cap even if bad would not have the ability to blow tube 6X5 on there own. Since it played well for several days before, I figuire everthing was hooked up correctly or it wouldn't played for several days. I did check wires from socket and replaced any that had cracked wire that may have been shorting out.
