Hello Ed:

I had a similar problem and I kept looking in the wrong spot. I assumed it
was a leaky cap and replaced all the caps and tubes. Finally, out of
desperation, I convinced myself it had to be something else. About that
time I was reading about resistors. The carbon composition resistors are
often absorb moisture and change resistance when heated. Changing to a
newer more stable resistor solved the problem. I think there is a chance
you are affected with the same problem.

Hi, Colin

Thanks very much for the hint.
Do you recall which resistor was at fault,
or did you change out several at one go?
