Re: Sockets gone bad?

Ryan	Re: Sockets gone bad? Don, It's half of the output, either the Push or the Pull. I replaced the coupling capacitors and the resistors to the grids (I don't have it infront of me but I think they're all getting the juice from one trace on the board prior to the and my logic, which may be flawed, says that anything prior to that would throw the bias on all the tubes). There are plate resistors like Enzo said. I'm in school right now so I don't have it infront of me but it was either one of those or a screen resistor the popped. I remember reading about carbon deposits in tube sockets but I wasn't sure if that could make the bias take a dump. It does have 7027A's in it. Thanks. -Ryan
