38 116 low volume after recapp
#4

I didnt say this was a code 125, sorry. The cap you mentioned is 123a on this model. I did check the center tap voltage. It is -99v. I checked and all the E caps are in correctly with respect to polarity.

I checked all the other tubes and all voltages are low by about 75v. They are 100 v low on the 6L6's (180v reading) until I pull one. Then they go up to 235v on each tube socket. Should be 290v.

I did hear some arcing when I initially turned it on and the set was playing well. I dont get that sound anymore. Maybe a component failed?
