Checkin' in late... glad to hear things much better.
If it still acting a little off, there are a handful of caps and resistors that can be replaced. When I did mine, I think shipping cost more than the parts.
You might still want to pick up a 6BN8 or 2. I think I bought a pair or so. Not expensive if I recall. Also might want to pick up a couple of sets of #55 bulbs. Check eBay. Can often get a sleeve of 5 bulbs. The old ones are much better than the new issues. Don't know why, but I do remember reading this and indeed I found this to be true when I purchased NOS versus new ones sold at auto part stores.
Don't mean for you to go overkill on back up stuff. I think I am a bit of a hoarder, but it sure is nice to have extras on hand when things require troubleshooting. Whether it is a component tube or for the tester itself.
And of course listening and troubleshooting usually end up happening on a weekend. When parts cannot be bought.
Cheers!
