Picked up a 1974 OR 80 on the cheap. It sounds great, only there is a loud hum coming from the PT, which is amplified when the amp is in play mode.
In addition, the new powers tube have a blue glow inside the plate structure. I'm not sure what this indicates. At high levels one tubes glow orange on the inside, but not on the plate. The bias is set correctly.
I'm not sure if the problems are interrelated, and I've never encounted any of them before. Any advise on diagnosing the amp would be awesome.
Thanks.
