[Amps] Alpha 89

[S. J. Blackwell]

Tom,
I have an Alpha 89. I also have noted the first LED of the grid current 
monitor stays lighted faintly.  I have taken care of this by ignoring it. I 
have assumed that this represents a maladjustment of the input to the LED 
monitoring ckt, but have been too lazy to do anything about it.
