In Reply to: RE: ... also a reminder bias is set with no signal. It goes up and down once signal applied. (nt) posted by Jonesy on July 28, 2020 at 21:27:18
My ARCs were the VTM 120s & I used to sincerely wish that a fuse would have blown instead of a resistor.Anyway, I am not ignoring your previous suggestions, but could I beat you up for one more favor? Could you paste a link to the cap tester that you bought from Amazon? I want to make sure that I get the one that will do what I need it to do. When I get back into it to check the caps, I'll inspect the tube sockets as you suggested.

Yes, I remember you mentioning the ARC 120's. You have/had some nice amps.
Here's a link to the "in-circuit" capacitor tester I use. Looks like a newer model and shipping direct from China.
They also have an ESR meter that checks the health of a capacitor. I use them in tandem, but if I could only choose one, it would be that shown in the link.
Sometimes you can get both as a set. Much cheaper that way. You may wish to check eBay or other sites as well.
Cheers!

Jonesy, I have said it before & I will say it again: you are the best!
Thanks!
You're welcome.
I'm just re-reading the online description. I don't see it saying "in circuit" anywhere, so check the manual that comes with it. Either way it's still the one to get.

It has been ordered . . . .
Thank you, Jonesy, for all the time & effort on & offline helping me solve this!
