Home Tube DIY Asylum

Do It Yourself (DIY) paradise for tube and SET project builders.

RE: OK....

Are the 6550s filaments in series or parallel? It sounds like you have them in series? Both tubes pin 7 and both pin 2 should be connected together. The pin 7 side to the resistor, the pin 2 side directly to the transformer.

OR

You can criss cross the filament pins between the tubes as shown on the schematic. My guess is they did this for hum cancellation.

Take the 6550 tubes out. You should measure approx 6-7 volts between pins 2 & 7 on each socket. The measure again with only one tube plugged in, then with both 6550s in. Tell us what you get in each step.
