Sorry, but I'm not electronically inclined...I'm not sure what you mean by having plate and screen grid voltage on the 41's... after replacing the capacitors, I have better volume, but still have distortion. I also found that there were 2 resistors connected to the 41 sockets that were suppose to be 1 Megohm, and actually was 1.341 and 1.234 ohms... so in the middle of ordering new ones. That cap I was talking about, is also connected to both 41 sockets, pin 2, that's why I'm changing it..
I will double check all the wires again and replace as necessary..
If you can, let me know how to check plate and grid voltage if that's not too much trouble.. thanks.
