What I think Lou is saying is...... the cut off bias isn't being applied on RX....( cuz of lousy bias relay contacts on RX)...... hence the tubeS are sucking normal idle current.? BUT if that was the case, the plate current meter would be indicating normal idle current.? ?Now that the amp seems to be functioning ok...... what is the normal idle current ????? (keyed, but NO drive applied).?
?
With normal idle current, how much idle current is there...and what is the loaded B+?? ?Knowing that, simple calc to determine idle anode dissipation.?
