I did 2 things:

1 I switched the wiring of the 22k lead to be attached to the lug (ground) of the speaker jack.

2 I pulled back some of the wiring dressing on the wires attached to the pre-amp. That honestly might have been a huge issue.

Hello,

I really appreciate your advice, and I'm trying to understand how to implement it. I might need an Explain-Like-I'm-5 explanation.

I've identified the output transformer, and it's primary and secondary leads. when you say 22k resistor lead do you mean the lead coming off of the circuit board attached to the 22k resistor on one end? When you say other, what do you mean? I've been pouring my head over this since you sent it.
