Re: [Harp-L] Amp troubleshooting

I suggest you keep a full set of spare tubes w/ you at all times. I put mine in a small boxe in bubble wrap in the bottom of my amp. 


Thanks Jerry,

Thanks to all who helped. Turned out to be the rectifier tube. I now have fuses, and a complete set of tubes mounted securely in my amp cabinet.
