No sound coming from the left, lots of static from the right [resolved]

Hello fellow Cracks,

I'm getting no sound coming from the left and lots of static coming from the right. I checked the LEDS, D2 on the large board is not lighting up and the LED on the crack A8. I tried reflowing all the joints to the small tube sockets and the connections for the speedball boards to the crack unit. Here are my result from voltage test:

Large Board:
OA - 194
OB - 72
G- 0
B -204

Small Board:

OA - 4.1
OB-77

Hope you guys can help.
 
My built was operational prior to not being used for a good year. So yes the voltage was good when I had it working.
 
If the amp was operational and now is not, this would tend to suggest there's a flaky solder joint or loose connection making its presence known.
 
I went through all the wires again, even though all of joints were solid, I found one red wire that was about to break off, I'm assuming during the stripping process i went a little to hard on it. I replaced it and solder, everything works great now. Thanks!
 
I think I spoke too soon, maybe I had the input jack half way in which gave me both sounds on the left and right. But now when I plug in the jack all the way in it doesnt give me sound on the left side. The static went away though. One problem after another.
 
Voltage seems to be close to the recommended range after fixing the red wire going to the power.

Large Board:
OA - 140
OB - 120
G- 0
B - 202

Small Board:

OA - 80
OB- 80
