Hi Donald, I never like to blow my own trumpet but I did one of these early this century.............

Hope fully it will be of some help. I do like these sets, and they are good performers but the valves in the RF stages must be working well.

I intend to replace them with new wire, being careful to dress them away from the EL84 and any other hot parts on re-assembly

Very wise as one of the leads on mine had developed an intermittent o/c after the insulation had melted on the OP valve and corrosion had set in. The O/C speaker wire caused the EL84 to become very uncomfortable indeed, (fireworks!) so one to watch. Either tie it down like I did or use heat resisting wires. You could also connect a beefy 100 ohm resistor across the OP TX secondary to avoid losing sleep.............
