Got the new power tranny in this week, finished installing it last night. I first setup the 6550 heaters per picture in manual. Only 3.2 vac at the heaters of the 6550's. Went back and setup the heaters per schematic and I am now getting 6.25vac across both heaters with the tubes installed.
Here is the kicker, I hooked up the amp to a pair of speakers, only one side was working. However I let it play for over an hour to see if the original motor boating would happen. Nothing. Went to bed at 5 am this moring.
This afternoon I put a new 12ax7 on the side that wasn't working. I turned on the amp and the channel that was working last night started motor boating on me. I opened the amp back up and turned it on with 8 ohm resisters on the speaker term, I measured 6.25 vac on the 6550's.
