Steve,
I found the 2W, either R-601 or R-605 had gone south - and - the 6AK6
had apparently shorted.
That is the area I'd start looking first.
It happened on my '67 EAC when I still had it.

I have isolated the problem to the audio deck, specifically the 5814 audio driver tube to the 6ak6 local gain audio output. It is not present on the line gain side of the circuitry. Before I begin clipping and testing, is there a troublesome component that others have found? The problem is still there after tube substitution.
