Home Tube DIY Asylum

Do It Yourself (DIY) paradise for tube and SET project builders.

update

It's beginning to look like you gents are on the right track with thinking the psu is running out of gas. I made some of the easier changes like a different rectifier and a cheater cap, and they both helped. I also reduced the resistors on the 26 plates and that brought that plate voltage up on them. By juggling things around I was able to get a B+ of 330vdc and a B+2 of 110vdc. I know I can't leave it like that, but I just wanted to see what would get the voltages up.
It is getting a little difficult to make these changes on the final chassis, so I am going to set it aside for now and do a one channel breadboard to get back to where I was when everything was working well. Once I get that done I will do a second channel to see if my psu does indeed need a boost. Not going to tear anything down until I figure out just what is going on and how to fix it.
Thanks again for all the help, I think you have me pointed in the right direction now.
