Went to check the tubes.
First, I noticed my Hickok got mold. It was standing close to the outer wall and it has seepage, and the weather's been moist for the most time.
So....alcohol wipe everything, then took my shoe fungus spray and applied it to the sutfaces.
Then...the English scale pot got tight. Deoxit + WD40.
Then came the tubes.
One of the output 7B5 is weaker than the other, but acceptable.
12AU7 was barely alive (300 both halves at 2200 norm). I found a 5963, an HP tube which is a close enough that is considered a sub.
The rest is good.

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.
