Hi guys,
Been working on this nice little cathedral. I've changed the filter caps (but not the caps in the blocks), a couple of resistors, and have it powering up. All I'm getting is a soft hum now. I have a suspicion the oscillator coil isn't working. However, I'm wondering about the caps in the blocks. What do you guys think....caps or coil...or something els?. What's a good test on the osc. coil? Tubes test strong.

Thanks,
Art
