Seriosly...no sound at all.
The fuse is good, there is power. The power tubes light up at the heaters.
I think that either the rectifier tube has failed, or the power transformer has crap the bed.
What is the expected voltage at pins 4 and 6, with all tubes pulled?
update:
I ordered tubes from The Tube Store on Monday afternoon, and they were on my doorstep Tuesday afternoon. New rectifier tube = working amp. The voltage across pin 4 and 6 on the rect tube is 800+ volts, and the tube is freaking hot. It always was, and after 15 months of 10+ hours per week of playing time, and three trips out of the house per week, I'm not too surprised the Sovtek tube failed. They do have a bit of a reputation as a short lifespan tube.
Sooooo I'll play a couple hours Wednesday and Thursday, and if all is well it'll go to the jobs Thursday night and Friday night.
Note to self: Always carry spare set of tubes.
