Corwin	Re: AB165 Bassman @ 499V B+ Ted: what is the voltage coming from your wall? I have 125V coming in from mine and the Bassman was made when common household voltages were 117V, so unless you have a variac or make RG Keen's "Vintage voltage adapter", the voltages will be higher than the schematic. I've still yet to measure the voltages in my Bassman, but I'm sure they're probably aruond 500V on the 6L6s Corwin
