I got a pair of Welborne 300B Laurel Monoblocks in my Back Room. I use them 3 or 4 times a week. Today I flip the power on everything, and 1 Channel is completely dead. All the tubes are cold, so I suspect a fuse has blown. I had not changed anything on that system in quite awhile. So, I put the amp on my Bench and pulled the Fuse... Sure enough Blown. So, I do my usual put each of the 4 Tubes (1 at a time) in the other Monoblock, and power it up... All 4 Tubes are good. So much for an easy fix. I built SET amps before from Kits, but I did not Build These Amps I could use some guidance on what I could look for, Measure Voltages etc? Schematics Attached. Thanks in Advance for any help. |
