[Amps] MLA-2500 problem

[Alek Petkovic]

R5, R6 and R7, 1 Megohm, 2 Watt, resistors, in the HV metering circuit 
have probably gone a bit high. Dunno if they would go so high as to give 
you only 800V indicated but I would check and/or change them anyway.

My first thought is power supply, and my second thought would be old filters. But, in my past experiences with amp power supply failures, they are usually accompanied by a lot of smoke and noise, along with blown fuses.
