Re E-Mail, you can just reverse the speakers by reversing cable from left to right speaker and right to left. If the problem is still anchored to the same speaker then its not a bad tube. BTW, I've never experienced fluctuating volume from a bad tube, but that doesn't mean the problem is not in your amp or in a source. If you can, change sources and see if the problem goes away.
Also, are you detecting a shift in the stereo image toward the same speaker when the volume fluctuates, or does it stay centered. If it stays centered then the problem is not likely to be from speakers or, if you have two or more tubes, one for each channel, is it not likely to sourced to a tube. Its to coincidental to have two tubes failing at exctly the same time.
Hope that helps a bit.
