After replacing resistors and capacitors on a late model 60, I get no audio whatsoever. The B+ is over 400V at full line.
I've limited the line voltage such that the voltages at each plate are approximately correct.

The output tube is biased off with ~-2.5V. The top of resistor 47 measures ~-2.6V indicating ~ 10 MA current draw.

What should the voltage be at the top of resistor 47?

Thank you,
Don

Don, it sounds like the output tube is drawing no current, could be an open output transformer. Check the voltage on the 42 plate.
