Hi there
it was mentioned above that it has been retubed and recapped but did not mention recalibrated. Proper balancing of the tubes is essential. If you did not buy correctly matched tubes specifically for this unit then that may be another reason. I fix other similar units and you can't just buy a tube and plug it in, you have to buy 20 and find one or two that are good enough, then you find that it is microphonic so you may need some more!
To get a pair of units to track properly in stereo adds more excitement.
Happy times
Matt S
