Hi Gary Thanks, I appreciate that as I just downloaded a R4 manual last night hoping they might be similar.
I just noticed after taking all of the tubes out cleaning them off and replacing them, I now have filament voltages on all the tubes and they are all lighting up. But, now I have no audio through the speaker and the S meter stays at the right. Perhaps take them all out again and clean the sockets with contact cleaner.
