I re-capped a 42-380 recently for a friend and replaced the rectifier tube which appeared to be weak, but working. After a few plays, it stopped working. All tube seem fine, I swapped the rectifier to make sure it wasn't faulty. I read that these 6X5 tubes and the capacitors are a problem on this chassis, but would like the experts here to give me some ideas what may be the problem.

Thanks,
