I feel the need to qualify an earlier statement of mine. I replaced a 100 pf. cap because it has full line voltage on it and it junctioned with the heater line(number 10 on the diagram by the junction were I was told to check voltage). it seemed the most logical to cause a back door problem being that the begining of the heater line is per the diagram. As I ran the set for a while I was able to turn up my variac and still maintain 1.5 volts across individual tube heaters. so, i am thinking that either the elctrolytics were still forming or I have a resistor changing value on me.I did not form the electros. because they are relatively lower voltages as compared to other AC sets.I did check B+ at 117v. so I now also need to make sure the voltage dial on my variac is accurate. I am thinking that the 117z6 should be putting out 117v. at the same line power.
