Home Tubes Asylum

Questions about tubes and gear that glows. FAQ

Yes, but probing around could make you "go to plate"

You can save yourself the risk of death by simply having you amp gone over by a service tech. Open bleader resistors and regulator issues are hard to find unless you have a schematic and specific knowledge. In all of my amps over the past 15 years I have never lost a tube on power down. You probably do have a surge happening. It could be simply the magnetic field on your power transformer collapsing sending a pulse through. If there was a component designed to trap the pulse that got fried you could have this issue.
