[Amps] AL-811H Question

How are you reading the output?  If something was wrong I doubt the  meters 
would act normally.  Some readings should be indicating problems  like high 
grid current.  What are you relying on to tell you there is no  putput?

Recently  replaced the 4 811 tubes in my AL-811H with a matched quad.

I replaced  them because, upon turning the amp on a while back I heard a 
loud
POP and  the amp went dead.

The fuse blew.  Replaced Fuse -- same  result.

Spoke to some amp gurus around here and said the tubes were  probably
shorting out as they were bad - - replace.  So I  did.

Now when I turn on the rig and tune up I am apparently getting RF  into the
AMP as the plate and grid meters move and behave as expected  through the
tuneup
procedures.  However, I show no power out  whatsoever from the amp.

Any ideas what to check next?  I'm  thinking I blew another component
somewhere and plan to take the cover off  to see if the smoke has been let
out of  anything.

Thanks,
Chuck
