History , there was a smell of burning followed by cutting out.
Next time powered up high pitched squeel.
Now on powering up very muted output like half-wave and sometimes a burst of
high frequency squeel but all at low level.
Nothing obviously burnt or over-heated inside.
Stable HT voltage. 4x 6L6
Same distorted sound on the line out.
Before testing the valves etc, anyone have any pointers ?

Take another visual, if you smelled it, it should show up.
