Classic gear from yesteryear; vintage audio standing the test of time.

Important and probable cause for failure

68.212.139.141

The new 7591 won't tolerate the high value grid leak resistors fisher used. They must be made lower in value. Likely you will want to bump up the coupling cap size one notch to maintain frequency response. The limit is 0.3 megs and NOS will handle that but the new ones won't. I'd say no more than 220K. Jim McShane has discussed this before so search the archives. It is real (I promise) and don't discount it.
