This method I actually prefer rather than blanket replacing, I'd be more confident in doing a complete recap if I had a circuit but in this case I will do a small area then power the set on and check to see that its working still.
By all mean use my photos if you wish Yeah rather odd about those 6SA7's, they could have been duds??

Funny how all of those 6SA7s were bad. They look identical. Perhaps the Tung-Sol quality control person had a hangover that day.
