To EHT, or not EHT?

did you check the screen voltage of the HOT? If you have a good drive signal I would start by subbing in a new HOT/Damper as well. Is the Damper filament staying lit the whole time, I had a bad ground stake that would cause it to go out.

Hi Dave,

I've subbed a new 6DA4 damper, and I've also replaced the sockets of both the HOR out and the Damper tubes. All of the filaments stay lit, but I haven't checked the screen voltage of the HOT. (Just so I know, are you talking HOR out tube, or HOR out transformer?)

I'm assuming you mean the 6DQ6 o/p tube.

Cheers,

Adam
