Jason	Re: AB165-Bandmaster-No Current draw on 6L6 Thanks for the heads up. I found my problem last night; it looks like it had to do with the power supply mod's. For some reason they had pin's 4 on each 6l6 tied together with a huge cap, 600uf/500V to ground off of it. Once I took that cap and the wire connecting the pins out, I was able to get current draw again. Now it's just low...I can only get about 17ma with -57V for bias...but I think that I can attack that in the bias area. thanks, -J
