Steve A.	Re: It Arrived! Ryan: Glad to hear that you received it! Charles doesn't post much over here anymore but he always seemed like a very ethical and honest person. Does anybody have any tips for using these probes? To accurately set the bias you should know the B+ voltage going to the plates. To measure this without pulling the chassis (the whole point of getting the probe) would there be any problem in pulling all of the output tubes and just measuring the voltage at pin #3 for a 6L6-style tube? --Thanks! Steve Ahola P.S. Can you post Charles' e-mail addresses so that I can update my records?
