At first, I did have contact issues. Wiggling the Nuvistors showed that up. Cleaning their pins very carefully, and the sockets helped a lot. However, the pattern I see now when swapping the original 6CW4 pair between sockets, or substituting for replacements seems to be consistent. I'll take another look though, per your comments.

Today has seen little activity, save for cleaning the front panel and polishing the brass caps on the controls.

Cheers,

Ed

I don't hold with furniture that talks.
