Now do the same test on the loose ends of the wires that are no longer soldered in.

Could you post a picture of the bottom of the filament supply PC board?

If I switch the 6.5vac coming off the transformer to the filament board the problem will follow. However I get 6.5vac on both sets with nothing connected????????

Problem solved. I have a AnTek AS-05T240 transformer laying around from another build. I removed the PT-9 6.5vac secondary’s and plugged in the AnTek………BINGO!!!!! Everything checks out now. Something is wrong with the low voltage windings of my PT-9 transformer………...

Can you completely remove the filament PC board and show us what the wiring looks like on the transformer?

Sorry I already removed the PT-9 and installed the AnTek and am listening to it right now.

I really like what I’m hearing! I have a little his/hum in between songs. Can’t tell if it’s tube rush or ground hum. Right now I don’t care this thing sounds beautiful!
