That makes sense, it's probably been cracked open for 40 years. I'll give things a clean.
damen: Maybe that's why I didn't get any audible click when shorting the anode. That was unsettling in that I found myself double checking alligator clips, coming in from different angles, etc : P
zeno: the part number is 212-149 From prior threads, I got the impression that this is an oddball one but it would be nice if there are subs. Duly noted about using the patched one. I'll keep that to a minimum.
Thanks for the replies!
