Will check caps and measure voltage

71.197.108.39

per your suggestions.

I have rewired the driver board as Chris has, and yes the only blown fuses and rectifier tubes did come after this rewiring. However, I didn't touch the PS or rectifier boards when rewiring so I'm thinking that the only difference would be a surge as has been suggested. Will measure and see what's going on. Will check my winding tap as well. On a related note, the stock 5u4 did spark on turn on even before I rewired the driver board. So, I'm thinking this issue was there from first build. Of course, it could be something I've done since the original build has made it worse!

As for the soft start, it sounds like the amount of surge that occurs shouldn't blow tubes--is that right? Anyone other than me and Chris blown a rectifier?

Thanks again,
Doug
