I have heard that approach from some other folks, but for the cost of a couple of tubes....

My tester is a bit suspect as it gave 2 bad reports recently said they were dead and they were not, the paper rolls keep bunching up too. Have a pal who found me a new one but have not seen him since last Thanksgiving when he arrived unannounced with a tin of whiskey which I still have not had the courage to open. He forgot the tester.

So I have the other tubes, not sure about the 50C5 though, will do the old substitution routine and narrow it down, it has new caps and has played well, so think a tube.....like to think so Icon_smile

. The little GE's are not bad though the speakers are kinda dull. GE 50's sets kinda bland but I have the brown companion to this they display nice, small so good to play my oldies or news, yak yak on.

Keep you posted. Thanks for the idea.

Paul
