 I have a Freed Eismann NR-5 that does not play. I checked the grid-leak cap and it showed up at 120K. Is this correct? The resistor checks at a steady 2 meg.

Thanks.

Please post only from the model side. I scrolled your thread to the model.

Well, that cap is sure gone.

Verify by (makeshift) replacement with 100 to 200 pF (µµF).

Good luck!
