Checking bias as we speak. Using webber bias rite.

Could bias be so low that it doesnt sag the PT enough? I swapped the two outer tubes and put them in the two inner positions. Yes the glowing follows the tubes. So is not a oscillation resolved with the stoppers.

I have no idea guys. I turned up bias thinking it would lower the voltage to the screens causing the glowing to subside. The glowing did subside slightly. I was up close looking at the tubes to check the screens. I seen the tubes flicker white for a second. Scared the crap out of me. I never seen that before.

36ma at 430v its set to

15w at 430 is 34ma
17w at 430 is 39ma

I am feeding through a webber browner. My wall voltage is a tad high. Remove that out of the loop and I am gonna have to start back at the beginning. Check all voltages again. I am just really frustrated on this amp. Metroamps kits were so easy compared to this. I am gonna go get some shielding tape and shield the headbox. Maybe its causing some problems.
