Since you are having strange problems I would suggest not trusting rivets to make a good ground connection.? Much better to solder the riveted grounds to the chassis at the tube sockets and the single ground point near the wafer switch.??
There appears to be ample room as shown in Jim's photos to get a large 100 or so watt soldering iron in there to solder the ground terminals to the chassis.? Nokorode solder paste works well for me.? A little fine grit sandpaper held by a hemostat to roughen up the area would help prepare the joint for soldering. Regards, Jim Logic: Method used to arrive at the wrong conclusion, with confidence.?
