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

Surely a meter, ohm checking the pin resistance between the cathode and grid will identify the problem tube ? Unless the short only occurs when hot. Adrian Fewster vk4tux I'll swap in a different set

99% of the time a short wont show with a meter in a cold tube.  On rare cases yes. Surely a meter, ohm checking the pin resistance between the cathode and grid will identify the problem tube ? Unless

Thanks Gerald Actually easier to simply swap tubes than take amp apart enough to get at the socket pins? Mark Mark, Grid to cathode short & stayed failed means you just need an ohmmeter. No need to s

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

Nichrome wire would have to dissipate 75 watts of heat unless it was mounted on stand-offs with air flow. Otherwise that heat will go directly to the socket thus quickening their demise as they lose

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
