Just finished re-capping my 41-250. Turned it on and got no sound except for a faint power supply hum from the speaker. I know I have a lot of trouble shooting ahead of me, but I noticed that the 41 tube closest to the edge of the chassis was glowing much brighter than the other. I switched the tubes and got the same result from the same socket. Is this normal? You can see the center element (heater?) glowing red all the way down to the base. The tube in the other socket is only has a faint glow at the tip of the center element.
