So I completed my kit last night, did a resistance check, everything looked super, so I bypassed the voltage check and went straight to moment of glory. but no glory. The little single 12AT7 sylvania tube began glowing promptly but the 2A3's did not. So I waited a few minutes to make sure I didn't see or hear (or smell
)any other issues and then powered it down.
So I'm going to go back and do the voltage check but I"m curious about two things:
1) Do those large tubes glow like the traditional tube?
2) Does the fact that the little single tube has power... point to any specific red flag that would help me zero in on something?
As I said, I'll complete the voltage check and make notes and see what that tells me but I thought I would see if this "smells" like one particular issue or not. Thanks
