Checked out the SB-220 this morning for damage. The only component that blew was the 0.82 ohm resistor. I noticed that the resistor is of the metal film type with a 2W rating, manufactured by Phillip

Don't know why a 2W wirewound would have more dissipation capability than a 2W metal film. I'd put in a bigger wattage value anyhow if that's what keeps blowing. Agreed. Everything bad that happens

An arc in a vacuum would not go BANG. Neither would the opening of a 2W resistor. Sounds like a HV breakdown to me that is external to the tube. Off to work; be back in 11 hours.... 73 Carl KM1H ____

Are you sure that one or more of the bias diodes did not short? That is a common failure mode. Heath manual calls I prefer a 2 or 3W metal oxide which can handle momentary overloads without opening a

There could have been a silent arc inside the tube, with the bang coming from the resistor. IMO a 2W resistor standing in the way of a near-short across the HV supply is very likely to exit with a ba

Hi Ian... I have no doubt that we saw many "Rocky Point effect" flashovers in the 3CV1500A7 (vapor cooled 3CX1000A7) tubes we used in our first amps - the ALPHA SEVENTY c. 1970. The BANG occurred muc

Correct, but a typical arc in the 220 does not blow apart R-3. In fact the original Heath and the metal film Harbach often show no external sign of failure. So the BANG is not in that part of the amp
