Greetings, I'm writing the [Amps] reflector in hopes that someone reading will be able to diagnose my problem with confidence. It seems like the Henry 2K-4A is a pretty well-known amp. I imagine the

Hi Warren, I have had the same problem.  My Henry had two Eimac-looking type 3-500s in it, but one stopped working (that was spectacular all by itself, actually).  So I purchased a new 3-500ZG to get

It's got some miscellaneous Alpha 77 components, but it's homebrew, for sure.  Very cool. My first amp that's not GG configuration.  I have no idea where to start!  I would like to get it on the air

Thanks ALL! I'll swap in a different set of tubes to confirm or rule out that it's one of the tubes.  Then if it is a tube, I'll do them one at time to figure out which tube it is. Thanks for all the

I was not thinking about checking the continuity in the tubes themselves when I balked at opening up the amp deep enough to check the continuity at the sockets!  I didn't connect those dots initially

Indeed, I was pretty sure this was a common set of symptoms.  Two 3-500z tubes here are about as common as it gets. I was pleased that I'd recalled the pinout of this tube from 4 or 5 decades of memo
