Well ladies and gentlemen, I've ran into a snag. I got my amplifier done, gotta do some buttoning up but it works and sounds excellent. Gotta love great sounding original tubes! However, I got a problem with the tuner, and that is everything that comes out of if is distorted. No matter what it is, tape, fm, am, fm multi, ect, at a certain level the audio gets distorted and harshly clips the power amplifier. My plans currently are of course to check all the audio tubes on the amplifier and button it up (change the filter caps and add the new network.) and see if it's still there. If it is, I'm at a loss. All the resistors and components check out good. The FM/AM get good reception and even the original eye tube is a good green color. Everything in the preamp circuitry tests good, and all the voltages check out good. I'm starting to suspect it might actually be one of the couplates in the tone circuitry isn't working properly, however it is on both channels and effects them evenly. I'm at a loss of words here guys, anyone ever deal with this problem and won? Otherwise I might have to get my friend another tuner chassis.
