The noise is coming only from one channel. The best way to describe it is that it sounds like radio static. The volume of the static tracks with the volume knob itself. As the volume is turned up, the staic level increases. This happens until full volume, except here the static suddenly goes away.

Another thing, at half volume if I wiggle the wires the only thing that affects the noise level is the wire connecting the voulume pot and the grid resistor. This is why I suspected the grid resistor. But as I type this I'm thinking of a comment John S. made earlier: I may have a bad volume pot. I think I'll stop by RS and pick up a new one and see what happens......Colin
