[Amps] Drake L7 issue

All, 

I just finished up my 220VAC run to the shack and fired up the L-7. Upon startup, the panel lights seemed dimmer than they usually are. Even the fan seems like it’s running slow and weak. Upon trying to check the amp for operation, I notice that I’m getting very weak output (no even 20 watts) into my dry dummy load. I’ve tried several different bands but get the same results. I have triple checked all my connections and everything seems correct. The amp was operating just fine for the past several years at my old QTH. I’ve just noticed this problem after my move. Could it be that I’m not getting HV? Could I have a faulty breaker in the box? Any ideas on where to begin trouble shooting would be appreciated. 

Thanks in advance, 

Joe
