Yes, I did change the 2 caps inside the block,
I'm not 100 satisfied with the sound, still trying to get rid of a slight distortion,
I just ordered a 84 tube, since I couldn't check here in Redding.
No one seems to have a tube tester... And I don't have one.
If that doesn't fix it, I'm going to recheck all the caps against the schematic as well as the resistors...
I'm now working on a G.E F86 - just got it done today and sounds and works great.
This one is a keeper... Thanks
