I've seen Shangos recent predicta video where he actually zooms in real close to and it shows a break in the tube socket connection.. I've checked the 3 sockets that I pulled the tubed from before this problem occurred... I check with a mag lite, magnifying glass and poked in each hole with a small wire.. All of them are solid.. I'll go under the board where I have to remove the bottom metal plate, which I already did once, and this time I'll just reflow the tube sockets as timmy says.. The wire that goes to the sharp control was broken lose and the inner wires were touching each other.. But I don't think that's the problem.. I don't think anything like a resistor got burned out or else I would have smelled something or saw something cooking, unless a resistor burnt out without noticing any symptoms..
Should I spray WD40 and contact cleaner in the sockets pin holes?
