Title: The last question
Post by: raymonyng on May 15, 2023, 11:01:41 AM

Hi, after few months, finally came the this situation. The A side voltage is correct, it’s 215V. 165V  105V. 98V. 1.837V, and the B side is not correct, it 215V. 145V.  141V. 141V. 0.002. Then I flipped over the board and now A side is become B side and B side become A side. This time the B side became to A side is correct, and the A side becomes B side is not correct. That means the welding in both sides re correct. But what’s makes them reading the same when I flipped over the board. Thanks for help.

It looks like the EF86 in the B socket is not conducting. Easiest place to start is swap the EF86 tubes and see if the problem follows when you move the B side tube to the A socket. If it doesn't follow thw tube there might be a bad connection at socket pin B3.

Hi, thanks for your advice, it’s because of the EF86 the voltage is not correct, so can your company exchange the tube for me? Thanks very much.

Yes, contact Eileen at [email protected] and she can send you a replacement EF86.
