My problem is that they've become noisey. I located two sets of replacement tubes and caps (at considerable expense) and after retubbing and recapping we have a new problem that involves the meter oscillating back and forth -- I dont understand the details myself -----

Thanks in advance

What i've noticed is that they tend to oscillate after recapping with higher gain.

Don't quote me on it but i think it has to do with the pad before and after.

Check to see that the pads are ok.

Just a suggestion.
