Hi Tim,
Just a guess but I think I would look for a gassy tube in the audio section. My guess would be in the first amplifier. They produce a blue or purple glow when this happens. I don't think it would hurt to bring it up to look for it if you had some kind of limiting device such as a variac or a dim bulb tester. Good luck Icon_biggrin
