Hi All;
JerryH, Thank You for Your reply.. yes, I knew that the 80 tube has its own 5.0 Volt power supply, which is why I could have B+..
But, I hadn't thought of the possibility of the 42 Tube filament heating up and seperating after some time, which is a secondary possibility after the Cold Joint theory..
Upon re-reading Your post, I have another thought, yes, the Pilot lamp does light.. But, while it is first warming up, the lamp does flicker some.. So maybe there is or maybe a momentary or slight short to ground.. Also just to note, the Center of the Filament transformer does go to Ground..
THANK YOU Marty
