Help,
Was operating RTTY when my Centurion Amp quit working. The symptom is
that it shows 200 Ma Even in the Stnby position the plate current is 200 Ma
& the tubes are moderately red. The tubes are only a year old. Any idea
what might have happened? Looks like a trip a trip to TT.
Anyone with a Centurion Amp have this symptom?
Thanks,
Doyle/N4VV
Was there any snap,crackle or pop ??
I would take a look at how TT provides cutoff bias. Usually its a zener
in the B-/filament center tap. I would also take a look at the meter
shunt resistor.
My last choice would be to run out and buy new tubes.
