It does, but I'm sure there is bum resistors, like the 68 ohm cathode resistors that i seem to always find bad

Also, I need to balance the outputs, one tube is running a tad bit hotter, this I'm sure because I have not replaced the G1 resistors yet 470k to gnd one tests pretty close, the other at 525k not TOO bad, but it prob explains why that tube is hotter.

I was focused mainly on fixing the broken blown transformer and replacing caps and getting it working, looking for bad resistors is next.

BTW, I saw your video about the phones, your workspace is about as clean as mine!

I have an old telephone magneto that I got from my grandpa long ago, I doubt many know how much fun you can have with them!
