Hey Mike!
Less than a full volt while the leads are on the test points. So we're talking 64.8 to 65.5 volts DC.
I know I'm over reacting. It's just that it appeared to have been fixed and then started again.
Used to be I could set it to 65.0 and it would sit there with nary a flutter while holding the test leads on.
Just concerned it's not foreshadowing a symptom similar to the two times when I had to get it serviced because all the tubes were blazing red. Both due to a cold solder joint.
$300 each time. Sigh... :)
Anyways, thanks, and good to hear from you.

- I never even thought of the line voltage but that could very well be an issue if it varies. - Michael Samra 17:15:40 05/13/14 (9)

- Yeah, check the plate voltages when the bias reads differently - FenderLover 23:16:41 05/13/14 (7)
