Tarbaby, hi. Grids #1 = control grids. I was making reference to the tube pins (and socket pins) that carry the audio into each triode section - the most obvious place the signal could get garbaged up. If the DeOxit treatments plus cleaning yielded improvement this result is significant. ie - more an interface problem (pin to socket, wire to board) than an errant tube, etc. Even a poorly conducting center pin of an RCA plug (dirt, oxide, crud) could cause the symtoms you described.
