Re: my baby it finally in my hands...
Looks like the screen grid resistor got a little toasty? Those are a common "weak link" and are often replaced with 1K 5 watters for safety/reliability. Your call on whether or not to swap out original components on a pristine Hylight, though.raffau wrote:...did someone realise the first left tube? ....was a little bit warm, isnt it?

Re: my baby it finally in my hands...
it looks like a power tube died at some point. I wouldn't do anything unless your bias is Very far off.
I wouldn't mess with such a pristine amp........but that is just me.

Wow, such a beautiful amp. "I'm gonna sold it" ?? 
Your loss, but a great clean original amp, for someone.
