I have tried the gentle tapping method on every component and valve base. No change here . I have noticed that the Anode voltages are now lower than they were last week by ~10% but they are the same under both conditions . I wonder whether one of the original, un-replaced valves {6BE6,6AT6,6BA6} is failing slowly as heated up??
