I am happy to report that the amplifier is working now BUT I am failing potentiometer 101 miserably. I got a replacement 100k ohm stereo potentiometer , labelled B100K just like the original and hooked it up the same way as it was before. I could not get the volume to decrease or increase . It played at the level that is set on my potable cd player.
Looking at the old one, the middle pins were input signals then two others (stereo) were output to the input tube (6N1). The other two were strapped together then to ground. Could that be correct? The spare ones connected to each other then connected to ground?

Obviously that's not right, so just copy the Alps pinout.Looking at the old one, the middle pins were input signals then two others (stereo) were output to the input tube (6N1)
I could not wait ! Just did ! You are da best! Working now...woo hoo!!!so just copy the Alps pinout.
Thats was my mistake!!!!Looking at the old one, the middle pins were input signals
Thanks JeffThat's what we like to hear.
Yes voltages were fine , it was a faulty potentiometer after all and with the help of vinylkid I got it working again.Voltages are fine - what is going on here ?
You may exceed the max. filament voltage for the tubes at 120V, so you may want to check that with the variac. Also check output tube dissipation.What are the negatives for plugging this amp into my house ac of 120V?

ok, thanks ,may just run that amp through the variac. I don't use that amp often , just a few time to keep my tannoys happyYou may exceed the max
