[HAM] m111

[Schoem Scott]

thanks!  i actually got the tonewheel to start
spinning, but now i'm getting only an extremely faint
sound coming out of the speaker.  i don't think it's a
volume pedal issue.  could it be a tube issue (tube in
the wrong position) or would i get no sound if that
were the case?
