Hello,
Going to make a separate thread for my problem (have talked about this in some other threads).
Problem: Output tube starts squealing after a little listening (transfers into the right channel only). This happens random and it does not matter if I change the output tube or drive tube or both (RCA 6080, GE 6AS7GA, TS 5998/ RCA 12au7, Siemens E80CC). Nothing also changed when I changed output caps for film type and added bypass caps to them.
Thing how to get rid of it: Tap on the large tube or pull out and insert again the headphone plug. But the squeal returns after a few seconds or minutes.
When I tap on the aluminum panel there is weird distortion in the right channel.
Tried: Made sure that every component on the aluminum panel is correctly attached and checked every solder joint. Did the bamboo stick test and changed the power switch (stock one went bad after getting too much soldering heat). Did all the measurements also. And I will post them here:

I soo love my Crack but this squeal thing won't let me enjoy music. I will include some pics too. If anyone have some questions or ideas what to test or measure etc. then please share
