Well voltages all low and then pop with a loud ring went the output pentode dead as a door nail. I knew the valves where faulty due to the microphonics hopefully no damage done I'll check the mains transformer and output.
Got another one on it's way as parts today with valves in it so will try them.
Always go by first instinct is the morale to this story ha.

The other thing confused me and again not come across this on a diagram it says voltage across r15 should be 5.35v I was getting 2.4mA? and pin connections on pentode are 1,2 & 3 I'm assuming pin 2 is the cathode?
I'm having bit of trouble working this one out.
Oh the MR was reading 184v spot on its connected straight to the mains transformer on secondary which runs of to s2B & s2A then running to frequency charger and AF amp. Their okay so V4 & V2 I reckon are knackered. As smoothing can readings well low again 95v was getting 23v.
Another interesting thing now v4 is shot I can measure the cap across output tranny and get a reading whereas before I was just getting a sound through speaker on uf readings.
