Could be you have a bad 6AU6 in the IF based on what you posted in this thread: http://www.videokarma.org/showthread.php?t=266957

The filament voltages should be within about 10% of each other. Either one of those tubes is not really a 6AU6 or it's bad (I'm thinking a heater cathode short) or there's some bad issue with a socket or wiring.

i have tried several different 6au6 tubes and i know the resistances vary between tubes. certain ones i tried the lowest was 5.98vac and others in the string were as much as 7.02 vac so im lost. i checked all the 3 ohm resistors too and they are fine.
