[QUOTE="JKMV12, post: 109089, member: 2019"] there is some brown/amber colored stuff around a few of the tube socket terminals. my dad said it was probably residual flux but i'm not sure. also i noticed the power tubes appear to have a bit of solder around the pins. i'm not sure if that is normal or not. one of the screen grid resistors also has some small black streaks around one corner. i own a soldering iron (very low quality) and can get a hold of a nicer one but my skills are minimal. i don't trust myself to replace any components but i will perform diagnostic tests if i am aware of the proper procedure. at this point i want to either figure out what the problem is or get a really good idea of what it might be and then i will figure out how to fix it from there. i have several options available when it comes to finally fixing it. i figure this would be a good exercise of my current knowledge of electronics as well as an opportunity to learn more. this has definitely been a good test of my knowledge and analytic skills but i definitely have much to learn. i appreciate everyone's help with diagnosing this problem.
