    This one 157 has columns for tube, giving the number of the tube you want, filament, type, socket, selector and sensitivity,then the final column that says disregard indicator lighting. For each tube it lists the selector numbers for which you disregard the indicator light. They must be two...

    Newby question about checking tubes

    All electrolytics have been replaced. Cans were purchased from Hayseed Hamfest and singles from Mouser, nothing else was touched. Does that take care of the power and bias supply? I'll take your advice as to doing the usual old tube amp maintenance.

    Newby question about checking tubes

    As the title of this post indicates about all I know about tubes is a glow, they get hot and they make music come out of my amplifier. Well, maybe a little bit more than that - I have read almost everything on Audiokarma and the Internet in general about tubes that I can find. But nothing...

    I shouldn't ask, but would you by any chance have a Zenith Trans-Oceanic in your collection?

    Fisher KX-200 80 Watt Stereo Control - WOW

    The tester shows no shorts, but does indicate the tube is bad, so it has to be replaced. Should the tubes be replaced as a pair? Or can I change just one?

    Fisher KX-200 80 Watt Stereo Control - WOW

    V8 (according to the manual) It's a 10 Ohm, 1/2 watt resistor. The blue line shows where it was. I didn't realize how much ash was left until this picture was taken. Click image to expand. The title says Tube b.jpeg - the 'B' is just the part of the title I use to find the image in a...

    Fisher KX-200 80 Watt Stereo Control - WOW

    Right now a pair of Marantz 7 Mark II that I bought 44 years ago. They were recapped five or stx years ago. They still sound pretty good. Sadly while listening yesterday the right channel died and a resistor burned up. It will be next week before a new resistor arrives and I can find out...

    Fisher KX-200 80 Watt Stereo Control - WOW

    It's up and running. Thank goodness for the assembly manual, I would have been lost without it. The three lug capacitor in. C4 position. was a modification. There are a few cosmetic things left. One knob is missing the brass center piece, and I do need a knob for the center speaker control. It...
