Hi all
Thanks for all your assistance. Finally traced the problem to Anode cap. The
spring connector on one of the bottles had become loose. Nipped it up, and
all OK.

Decided to give the amp a clean out and check over as good measure anyway.

Thanks again.

Cigarette tar is not a good conductor.  What is the resistance of the
100-ohm parasitic suppressor resistors?
