Hi everyone, I've got a pmillett HA-2 clone. Everything has been fine, but just recently after a bit of use the 6.3v appears to gives out. However the 5v for the rectifier tube is still underway. Let it sit for a bit and everything comes back just fine. And then it goes out after a while.
I'd think if a winding were failed it would be just completely gone, but things seem to be intermittent which is odd. Any thoughts?

I was measuring at the tube socket where the leads come from the transformer. I did take a closer looking and indeed it appears one of the leads is not soldered in and I appear to be getting a loose connection!Most likely a bad solder joint.
Thanks for the tip. Sometimes it's something obvious that gets overlooked.
