Hi Morzh,

Thanks for your response.

-I'm applying 110V from my variac.
-I didn't have the speaker plugged in when I was testing but I tried it and nothing seemed to change. None of the tubes besides the rectifier tube is heating. I testing the 3Q5 plate voltage (Pin 3) and it's showing the same voltage as the rectifier, 163V DC.
