[Amps] LK 500 problem

[carl seyersdahl]

The first thing to do is pull both tubes and see if the problem goes away !!
It sounds like a grid-fil short . I had the same thing with a different amp.
BAD TUBE !!

All

I have an Amp Supply LK 500 (2 3-500Z) that is starting to give me some
grief.

When I turn it on the Grid current goes negative and stays there.  The plate
current goes to about 200mA and also stays there.  The plate voltage looks
OK.  It is an intermittent problem that sometimes goes away if I power cycle
the amp.

I could use some help on debugging this.

Thanks in advance
