Early 220's had a problem with shorting the filament/bias transformer if it was wired for 115V and the zener shorted. There is a change notice on the web.

I just picked up a used non working SB-220.  Suppoesdly the filament
transformer smoked.  Still have to pull it apart and see what is going
on inside.  Tubes are supposedly still good.

The question I have is it possible/likely that a tube failure caused
the filament transformer to smoke ?  What is the best way to check the
tubes to insure they don't cause more problems ?

Thanks in advance.
