need help on dynakit st 35


I'm new to tube amplifiers. I got a dynakit st 35 and that aside from the hum in both channels, the left channel also crackles. I also noticed that the left channel was heating up so fast that I turned off the amp to avoid damages. I also noticed that one of the el 84 tubes on the left side was glowing brighter than the others. There wasn't any leaks from its capacitor.

I will highly appreciate any advice.

Sorry, I may have mixed the st-35 with the st-70. I don't know how different the two are soundvalves.com and avahifi.com both have kits for the latter. Check around though. Some of the tube places may be able to help.
Check the older threads, the st-70 comes up time and again and there have been numerous posts detailing the various aftermarket restorations/upgrades for the unit. If you're going to start doing internal work you might want to look at all your options.
