I've got a recently arrived Music Man 2275-130 amp head (12AX7 PI variety) that runs for a short while, the volume goes away and two tubes on one side redplate.
It looks pretty clean inside and hasn't been bodgered.
As an update I found the same voltage on all four grids-about -34.75v and figured maybe it was one of the coupling caps that had gone south. Replaced all the .047/630v coupling caps (C-34, 35, 36 and 37) and a new preamp tube and it just got worse.
The first time I fired it up when I got it here it had been sitting for a few months, and I was able to play through it for a few minutes before it went belly up.
Back to fundamentals, I guess. Something's rotten in there.
Thanks
