I (stupidly) agreed to take on a tube powered F-1600 for a local record shop and this thing is kicking my butt up one side and down the other! Firstly, It seems as if the cabinet is screwed and glued together, accessing the internals without damaging the cabinet has proven futile. All 4 tubes and idler wheel have been replaced. I put the rectifier in, let it warm up, and still no sound. So I turned it off and heard - then saw that the transformer was leaking tar. I'm at a serious loss, and would appreciate ANY help that might be out there. Thanks.

Dave
