The photo with the FM shield removed. I can see how the recap is gonba be fuuuuuhnnnnnn ......
As for the initial check, well, as expected, the Candohm is bad. Not open, but 100 ohm (or close) section is 1K. The 12 ohm one is 25.
The 5Y4 tube is dead. The filament is open.
Most (all exept one) loctals tested dead first but I got suspicious with the black pins, scraped them with a scalpel and all tested good. So all tubes are good except the rectifier.
People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
