If you want to spend the time to troubleshoot it to find a bad cap that you are going to replace anyway. Take a look at all the plate and screen voltage. If they are within spec measure from pin 8 of the 50L6 - to pin 5 of the 50L6 + Should read - 8v or so if it is low than that replace the cap that is hooked to pin 5.
Good Luck

Now I think I've got!
