Default Re: GEC BT336 possible tube change

I have changed all the black capacitors as I been going along I don't think there are any I missed.suprisingly even though a good few had cracked cases on replacing they were Almost spot on. the original value.having said that almost all the lower value ones were very leaky and way off value.
Going back to the lopt I started off with 30ma of power going through it as John suggested but after half hour not even warm .I been slightly upping the current by 10ma every half hour checking so far it only minutely warm . I was going to keep slowly going but I will measure the resistance it that can help me .
Thanks everyone Andy
