I looked too - nothing on the web. Still, with only 4 valves it can't be that complex. I used to repair valve gear (30 years ago) - it was my first proper job! I suppose trying to diagnose an issue like the one you appear to have is a mental challenge for me :-) Armed with a signal generator, basic scope and multimeter, most valve amp faults can be pinned down in about 30 mins. In most valve pre-amps the only expensive components are the mains transformer(s), the valves and the pots & switches. Aside from these, a repair is usually going to be less than $20 in parts. One last question: has your pre-amp ALWAYS been like this since you have owned it?
