I'm waiting on parts for the Hoffman I'm currently working on, so I decided to try a slow power up with the Admiral on the Variac tonight. Surprisingly, I ended up with adequate sound, but no raster, just like the seller said when he last tried it 30 yrs ago.
I noticed the 6BG6 glowing blue, so I powered it down and checked that tube as well as the fuse. All checked ok. I checked the 1X2, an my tester showed bad, so I tried another one. Same results. 6BG6 still glowing blue. Have not put the HV probe on yet.
AT least the set is not in too bad of shape. Funny thing. I posted how the seller stuck his had inside and was knocked backwards. The "Danger High Voltage" label is still on the set. I guess he ignored it.
