I pulled the tubes and subbed the 7A fuse from the other amp to see if it was the power supply- it wasn't. I then checked the tubes and reinstalled them without the speaker cables and powered up. All three lights are good and strong. If it were a bad tube I think it would have taken out the fuse right away, but so far so good. I use a set of old Z-Transformers and was trying a different wiring which I believe shorted the amp and probably caused all my issues. I will see how it goes and report back if any issues but I think it was a case of fooling with something that should probably have been left alone.
Thanks,
Charles
