First I swapped the tubes to no avail.  I then swapped the wires and now 
have a strange buzzing that I can not locate but it shows up on the 
audio with the gain at zero.  Don't know if I barfed something up or not 
but I vaguely remember reading somewhere that this an an indication to 
reverse the leads.

Just ordered new audio tubes.

Now I notice another discrepancy..... the manual that came with it says 
to adjust the mod current to 75-90 ma.  The manual that Rick sent me for 
the new version which I seem to have says 55-70 and no clue why the 
difference.

Which is correct and should I make an allowance for using 6L6's instead 
of 1614's?
