I just started experiencing a problem with my Bottlehead system. I'm running 2a3 Paramounts and the extended Foreplay. Last night my right channel started cutting out. I can faintly hear sound if I crank it WAY up so it's not dead completely. I checked (swapped) all my tubes, speaker wires and innerconnects except for the tube in the middle of my Foreplay that's labled 5814. Is that just another name for a 12AU7. I believe it's a driver tube so could one have be giving up the ghost? I want to check everything possible before I have to break out a soldering iron.
