RCA AP52X standby power flicker

[MIPS]

I should of clued in to Hitachi when I saw who made the tubes.

Okay, I'll send you a PM.

Some Hit projo sets DO "chirp" the HV at power up...for a few seconds. As long as the HV does NOT stay on--likely ok. Those status indicators show your standby voltages. they may be "somewhat dim" compared to run--this is because the power supply is placed in a "low tide mode" in standby--to reduce power draw. When powered on--ALL of green the status LED's should come to full brightness--along with the HV.
