Check the bias supply and the associated circuitry.
Also, the 7189A pins out differently than the 7189. Check how the sockets are set up. The 299B schematic shows 7189s, not 7189As.
Save money in the future. The Russian 6p14p-ev, AKA EL84M, is an affordable, tough, and good sounding true 7189 equivalent. Leave the very costly NOS to "audiophools".
