Meng 6PI Biasing Question

[zedrider]

Hello

I am about to replace the 4 power valves on this amplfier (6AQ5 type)
I see there are pre-sets under the valve bases, am i correct in thinking these are for setting the bias on the output valves?

If i am correct how do I go about doing this, I have a Fluke digital multi meter

If it's the one I'm thinking of, those trimmers are hum balance pots. Just twiddle them for the minimum hum, by ear.

Often the Meng 6P1 has 4 trimpots, 2 for hum balance and 2 for phase splitter balance. The output valves are 6P1 (9 pin) and not 6AQ5 (7 pin) but they are generally considered equivalents. The output valves are self-biased so just fit the new ones, no adjustments should be needed. The Mengs I have seen have the 4 trimpots near the front two input stage valves, not the output valves, so if you have trimpots under the bases of the output valves then disregard this info.
