Hi fellas,
That orange/red base at the very bottom is very slightly wiggly from the metal part. I've tried to adjust all the tubes randomly and the hiss/static is still there but very low db now. Like those old tvs when the channel has no signal. The hiss slightly got louder randomly and then went back down. In the past it has been totally silent. No big deal. I don't think this little mishap is worth more of your time. Ty, I'll ask for more help if the situation gets worse.
One quick question. So the amp has 4 power tubes and 4 preamp tubes. If the issue is the right channel that usually means it's the 2 tubes on the right side?
