        I've had a recent failure with my Centurion... was operating it about 
600 
watts out, when I heard a "TICK" noise (sounded mechanical, not electrical) 
and noted that output power dropped. Plate voltage was still normal, but no 
indicated plate current).

        I happened to look into the grill on the top and the PA plates were red.

        Turned everything off, then back on a day later,  at first all was 
well, 
then the same thing happened again ...amp was normal, then output power 
dropped to exciter levels, and the plates began getting hot

        Ideas?
