What is the AC line and filament voltage at no load Alek.
Ive also been told that a "number" of the 3 senior aps received incorrectly
wound transformers that were not caught during test.
Supposedly distributors have serial # info as well as the factory.
Otherwise Id buck the input down 15V or so while making sure the filament is
in spec using the internal connections or an external transformer.
