The old cardboad bias caps were left in the amp, the death cap was never clipped out and the ground from the AC was bolted on to the PT not even using a lock nut. I was able to loosen it by hand.

I had a quick look last night inside and it looks like
Only the filter caps were replaced and the cathode bypass caps on V1 and V2.
The amp still has all of the yellow and blue astrons tho.

The problem is that the amp is bleeding sound when the controls are at zero on both channels.
What should be the first thing to look at here?
Could it be the ceramic disc caps on the tone stack that are leaking. Are these little ceramic discs prone to issues
Could it be a leaking Astron? I dont want to replace any of them unlessit's absolutely necessary.
The only way I know how to test for DC is to lift the grounded leg of the cap. Is there a less intrusive way?
Thx all.
