Re: Dynaco MK IV tube overheat

It sounds as tho you may have a bad set of output tubes that develop leakage after being on for a while or you may have dirty tube sockets or bias pots or both. Are you using tubes like the early JJ KT77 or some el34s with small pins? If you are they may not be making good connection with the tube sockets and this will cause a runaway output tube on occasion.
