Okay they resistors measure as follows: Both liftet from PCB R41=837 OHMS R89=557 OHMS So not horrible out of tolerances I guess.

Your reading isn't terrible.? So now we need to see why you're getting S5 with no signal.? On the schematic, R41 and R89, in the meter bridge circuit, should be checked.

@Steve Tonight's numbers :).
Cold and detuned TP2=-1.335v
30 mins TP2=-1.267v
60 mins TP2=-1.259v
I get your point about "
The important part here is if the voltage at TP2 with respect to time."
Now what is the verdict? Too much voltage drop? What do you think?
Thanks, Michael.

We now need to measure the TP2 voltage from startup to a point long after warmup. If this value drifts towards 0V then there is a chance that you have a gassy tube.

HI again!
Tak for linked Glenn, kunne godt minde lidt om mit problem :). Okay enough "Danglish" .. @Steve, Thanks for taking your time to reply! Detuned and with AVC ON, TP2 voltage is-1.26, right now, I did an adjustment cold, so seems to have dropped ever so slightly after proper warm up.
RF GAIN Pot measures ~12Ohms(seem to be some capacitance) with wires attached, so guess that is quite okay.
Thanks, Michael-oz8abr

What is the resistance reading across the RF GAIN pot?
