Thanks very much for the response, tomb. I'm measuring 27V for the power supply (V+ to ground), 13.5V for each tube bias (TA2L/R to ground), and 75mV for each DB bias (TB1L/R to TA2L/R). I think the problem is probably in the signal path somewhere, particularly the 1/8'' input jack I'm using that is connected to the back of the board. The initial buzzing I was getting was affected when I moved the wires from this jack to the board around a bit. If I plug an interconnect into that jack, though, I'm still measuring continuity between the interconnect and the input pads at the front of the board, next to the pot. I'm not sure if this indicates that the input jack is okay.
The output jacks are the only part of the amp that have seen heavy usage. I have not replaced the tubes and the source remains connected to the input jack.
Sorry for the lack of specificity. I'm a bit stumped and posted hastily yesterday when I lost all output and had to start using my computer's audio jack! Please let me know if there are anymore measurements I can take to narrow down the problem.
