Thanks for the suggestions earlier this month regarding the SB-220.  You may 
recall that after
replacing a failed diode on the PC board, resting plate current was 0.3 amp 
instead of 0.120.  The
zener diode had indeed been blown.  I replaced it with a string of 7 diodes 
across a parallel .01
muF capacitor as suggested by Rich Measures.  The amp tunes up fine now.  
(Except for a bit of
intermittency of the grid current meter.)
