In the world of electronics sometimes you encounter stupidity. Sometimes this stupidity is your own. And sometimes it's the stupidity of age, which can also be your own.
For the life of me I can't seem to get my tubes to glow. The heaters will just not kick on. I've done the checklist.
Continuity, check.
Voltage from transformer, check.
Proper voltage, check.
Heaters on, uncheck ?
Yeah.
So I'm thinking that it's probably the transformer just not giving enough amps, it came from an old oscilloscope that's got to be easily 35 years old. Might not be in the most tip top of shape. Maybe it's time to buy one online spec'd out for a tube amp.
