new 5E3 was working then went silent....... no voltage's on tubes
5Y3
#2 5.26 ac
#4 367 ac
#6 366 ac
#8 5.26 ac

6V6
#2 1.65 ac
#3 1.5
#4 1.5
#5 .7
#6 .7
#7 4.4 ac
#8 0
other 6v6 looks same
The pre amp tubes have about the same kind of readings as 6v6

What is the voltage (DC) at the first filter cap?

[tooloud]

1.3 vdc

[macdillard]

Try changing the 5Y3

I tried another one no change

Must be a bad Standby switch. With power off and caps discharged connect ohm-meter across switch terminals and expect short or open indication depending on switch position.

[macdillard]

It has to be either a bad stand by switch (connection) or a bad connection at the rectifier tube. Not sure how it is built. The original 5E3 did not have a stand by switch..

so I was checking this thing out then I moved the 5y3 a little then the tube lit up and it started working......... I will see if it does this agian.........
