Awesome DaveInVA & Lew , Thats fantastic advice , I have a spare tube , so I will exchange this Hot Puppy out . All the rest are much cooler indeed . I ordered 10 new Sovtek 6as7-g's for the second amp .. + while I was testing the first amp , I managed to flash over 1/2 of one tube in the first few minutes . Sadly this was caused because of a faulty tube in V3 or V4 - the arcing happened in the 6sn7 and then was followed by a huge flash in a 6as7g & a simultaneous bang in the speaker that made me nearly 20 years older / or younger ..im not sure which ! . Problems are all fixed now ...bias & balance is settled nicely . I pre cured the tubes as per recommendations . The damaged / stress placed on the output tubes was my mistake - I used some used ex radio spares 6sn7's ....but now have all new Electroharmonix . Overall - ive learnt alot already ...and building a left hand / right hand amp to my own physical design has been a real challenge . This week I hope to complete the 2nd amp ...then all I need is a site to host the pics. Cheers guys for your advice . Much appreciated . Stu
