Hi Frank
must admit bit confused by schematics.
now on T1 there is a P connector not listed on schematic. Now r10 is connected to this plus pin 2 on ef86 which is also connected to negative on C5 plus R12.

Now also all pins on ef86 are all linked for contuniuty except pin 7.

Now SK2 and SK3 all showing continuity r s t q.

I've moved SK3 straight to chasis ground on pin 1 on SK1. was mild improvement in loudness and slightly less distortion. But not pleasant to the ear.

Bit baffled I'm going to test these dc ratings and see if any tally up.

Main problem I have is none of the valve pins are marked on schematic so making it difficult as I'm tooing and throwing between spec sheets for valves so can word out grid screen cathode etc.

Pretty new to this so takes time to learn.

Cheers Chris
