You said it in one Jim.
If you buy a AL811, you deserve what you get.
A guy local to me had two of them. One with three tubes and one with
four. They were forever breaking down and he usually brought them around
for me to fix.
In the end, I reminded him that he earned really good money and that he
had a really great station except for his amplifiers and that he should
just dump them and get something decent. Thankfully, he did. Dunno what
he runs now but I know it ain't the 811 amps.

Yeah. Well that is strange. Blowed if I know what he means then.
Thanks

## Buy it for a song..then spend 15 mins to repair it. What takes 5 mins to
warm up, the fils...or the B+ ?? I think the xfmr in the 811 has the fil
winding
built into the plate xfmr. It could be some shorted winding issue, etc. It
could
also be a screwed up hv meter.
