I am stumped by an issue with my old trusty R4A. The audio amp, 6EH5 tube is running with a red-hot plate.

All of the DC voltages look good and there is no input signal except the real one when the gain is advanced. There is a very large (5V P-P) on the output side. It is low freq (120 hz. The radio has new electrolytics on main and bias supplies and I tried replacing the polarized tubular decoupling caps in this stage to no avail. I saw the note about anti-vox oscillation in the R4B tech notes and tried that but no change.

About the only thing I havent tried is the audio transformer. the primary reads about 240 ohms.
The audio out from the speaker is about half what it should be.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Curt
