I have all new tubes and still nothing. all voltages for the XXL tubes are nowhere near what the spec says. The plate voltage is 1.5V, whereas it should be 150V. In fact the only voltage that is high in the whole radio as far as I can tell is at the 84 tube and the voltage there is 480V. Way too high. Maybe there is a problem with the transformer.

I looks like your set has the same problem that mine did, both a bad output transformer, and a bad audio inters...Arran — 03:21 PM |

Ouch! Not often the secondary takes a hit. Wish there was a better solution. I have a good interstage transformer but it...RodB — 02:59 PM |

By the way, the bypass you suggested is a rare solution in some circuits.
For example, this schematics solution is used...Vlad95 — 01:43 PM |
