RE: Cary CAD 300 SEI dropping out

Thanks for the suggestions. I swapped out both 6SN7 driver tubes. As for a rectifier tube, I don't think so. From the Cary manual: "The power supply is a full wave center tap configuration running high voltage, high current fast switching diode rectifiers. The rectified 450 VDC is fed to a PI-L filter network."

As an electronic newbie, I am a bit nervous about opening it up. Based on the case, it looks like after removing the tubes, I have to flip it upside down to remove the bottom plate in order to inspect the innards? Is it okay to turn the transformers upside down?
