Problem – The Thermionic Culture Vulture isn’t passing signal on the right side.

Solution – This thing eats an EF86 tube about every seven months. I replaced the one on the right with a known good one and the piece soldiers on. I tried the bad tube on the left and it made the left bad. Troubleshooting! The tube is operating within spec and there aren’t any physical problems I can see that would cause it to fail.
