thanks. i'm under the impression the unit was working properly when i purchased it. what seemed to happen was i turned it on, right channel of fm signal sounded "correct", left was weak. listening to left, it was clearly a low, distorted output. after that initial use, the only time i can hear anything coming out of it is if i select fm mono and crank the volume.i will check the 7868 cathode connections as per AJ's advice. also, the power supply caps appear to be original.. there are 2 multisection 'cans' and a paper one on top, and a paper one underneath. no burnt or 'bad' looking parts/connections. one thing i did notice is the 100K bleeder resistor from B+ to ground measures only 58K.
thank you for keeping up with this thread and for your advice. i'm thinking of checking voltages over the weekend, and may return it to the seller for a refund which he's offered. part of me wants to fix it, part of me doesn't want to deal with it.
