Yes, it had a HV crowbar type interlock that would take the B+ to chassis
ground. Before opening the top cover with high voltage applied I went into
the RF deck with the amplifier disconnected from primary voltage source and
disconnected the crowbar strap. It did NOT short when the tube went bang,
bump, thud, or whatever discription one wants to use.
