Hi Folks,
My uncle gave me a Realistic SAF-40B stereo tube amplifier. This will be my first tube repair.
It is not making any sound, not even a scratch or pop. I can see that all the taller GE Electronic 188-5 tubes are lit up, but I do not see any light from all the smaller tubes. I figure a good place to start is by checking the voltages but I am unable to find a service manual or schematics for this unit. Maybe a schematic from a SAF-40 or a -40C would be close enough to get the job done.
Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you!!
