Hey guys
Working on a Rickenbacker M-14-A combo which i can find next to no information on. It's a 12" tube combo. 3 x 12AX7s, 2 x 6V6, and a 5Y3. It's got some very low voltages that have me wondering if it's where it should be. The 6V6 tubes are getting 370vdc at the plates, and a whopping 107vdc at the grids. The tubes are cathode biased with a 200 ohm 10 watt resistor that's showing 5vdc at pin 8. The phase inverter is showing 93vdc on pin 1, with 13vdc on the cathode pin 3. The other half has 52vdc on pin 6, and 0vdc on the cathode, which is a 2.2k resistor going to ground. Does anyone have any experience with these?
