working on a carvin TS100, 50 wattx2 stereo. Channel 1 output low and distorted. Pin voltages on all 4 EL34s identical, or within a few volts. First tube (V6) redplating... swap them... still redplates. Bias way hot on ch1 even at lowest bias setting. Measure OT primaries, ch 1, 19 and 90 ohms, ch 2 89 and 90 ohms. Swap the OTs... now ch 2 is low and distorted and the third tube (V8) redplates. Have I got this right? My first guess was bias problem but the channels have separate bias and the redplating is connected to the suspect OT
Is it time for a new OT?
