Hello,

I tested it with the 6K6 and 6V6 but it was still having the same issue.
I flipped the chassis over and the 10K resistor that I replaced was really hot.
Quick question. Is the terminal supposed to be floating in space? As I mentioned earlier the terminal that was coming out of the electro cap I cut off to use as a terminal for the positive end of the electrolytic. Is it supposed to be touching the old metal cap still or no?

Sorry if the image is blurry.

Thanks
