• WARNING: Tube/Valve amplifiers use potentially LETHAL HIGH VOLTAGES.
    Building, troubleshooting and testing of these amplifiers should only be

Another SE amp design.

Almost three years of use as the amplifier for their TV and the first failure occurred. One output tube failed, no output but the heater is lit.

This is amplifier #2 of three.

I swapped tubes and the output followed one tube. Put a new tube in for the dead channel and it biased up at 57.8 mA vs target 60 mA. Tweaked the bias and I am going to burn it in for a few hours and pack it back up for her to take home tomorrow.
