Rca SE 6BQ5 red plating new tubes but not old ones. (Renamed)
I have an RCA RS-199a power amp in a console I'm restoring. I've recapped the power amp and preamp/tuner. I Am still having very weak output from the right side of the amp, left side sounds great. I have traded speaker wires, and preamp 6FQ7 tubes, and the problem stays with the right output. No problem with the output tubes either. This leads me to believe that it's an issue with the output transformer. I can buy one, but I don't want to just throw money at this amp. Am I on the right track?
All help is appreciated!
