Re: Need help with HT-40 MK 1 troubleshooting
I tend to agree with your feeling that the voltages are high because no current is being drawn. Here are the measurements you requested. These were done with the original 6CX8 and 6DE7. I also

Turns out that octal base tubes were introduced by General Electric when they introduced metal tubes, 1935. My memory was incorrect about Locktal base, it was introduced by Sylvania. Don't have a date
