You’re welcome! I’m following with a curiosity. I have a 49-906 which had a tube go out on the FM RF circuit, and it caused a similar issue with audio reproduction. Just the same, I was able to narrow it down to just the one function, and found it to be the tube. That’s really the only reason I’m feeling confident in my assumption.
