Need Help With Ella

A friend of mine and myself both have one of the older model Ella's - the ones with three round transformer covers and the large printed circuit board. I own three of them and a friend has one.

We each have one Ella that has a slight "buzz" audible when you put your ear next to the tweeter. Always constant volume no matter what the setting on the pre-amp or the level control on the Ella. Even unplugging the inputs - still there. Have tried swapping tubes, etc.... no change - same constant buzz.

I've contacted Brian and he mentioned putting a gridstopper resistor on each power tube???? This has little meaning. What type of resistor? What value of resistor? Where does it connect?

I've asked Brian these simple questions but his last response is that the Ella's were too old to support and I would have to find it on my own. so... here I am. Not the greatest support in the world.

Thanking anyone in advance who can offer some advice or help me with this problem. Please copy me directly with any ideas at my email: thx1326@swbell.net.

Thanks again!
