IF can rebuild questions
#7

The way to tell if the micas are arcing/leaking is look at the grid DC voltage, preferable with a scope.  If the grid shows positive voltage spikes, there you go.  The K-Tran series cans are especially prone to this.  They were heavily used in the AA5 series.  I had one go once in a cheap AA5 and I didnt want to waste a new can as the slug was broken too.  I made a 455 Kc ferrite xformer that worked well.
