Thanks Mike,
I will give that a try.
You know, I think it actually got worse instead of better when I changed out all the octal tube sockets. Maybe I exposed a weak link somewhere.
Oh well. I realize keeping the old stuff going is worth the tinkering.
Good news is I gave it a critical listen last night, and boy, it never sounded better.
May turn out being a well worth trade off.
Thanks again for your help.

Exactly..People put too much emphasis on exacting with tube gear or higher voltage solid state gear as far as voltage goes or current and I'm talking where one driver read 146v on the plate and the other ran 142.8..What should I do said the guy..I said to him,enjoy the sob as it's well within spec.
Honest amplification is better than excessive 2nd order distortion anytime.
One more thing that might be important... though they are not wavering, all the readings are about 2mv higher than with the tubes in.

... so taking out the driver and signal tubes gave me a steady reading!
Yet when I was too afraid to take them out altogether, I had swapped them all out, and still had the problem.
Should I keep swapping out tubes or might this mean something else?
Very encouraging.
Thank you again.
