Has anyone ever seen a power tube blow, but not take any components out with it? I mean, like it just completely stops working?
I just had that happen! LITERALLY!!! I mean, I noticed no blue glow in the tube, so I checked the bias on all of them, and all of them were drawing around 35mA...all that is except for the 1 that was blown! It was drawing absolutely nothing!!!
I've never seen this happen with power tubes. That is WAY wierd!!!
