Thanks to you all. I just got lucky. I was using the 10% rule,
where common components tested within 10% of each other I called
them good. I found 2 PNP Germanium Triodes that were identical but
tested way different than each other. I removed them from the
circuit to test properly, and they tested the same (both returned
the same values, I mean). Upon re-installing them, the amp worked
fine. Maybe a cold/bad solder joint? (No way, not after 30+years!)
I think these were the preamp transistors? Anyway, like I said, I
got lucky.

What is a " PNP Germanium Triode " for goodness sake ?

A transistor.
