Just checked my Crack w/Speedball voltages.
The amp is several months old and plays well to me.

Its a stock Crack w/speedball...no updates of any kind.

The voltages on A1, A6 are 72.7 Volts....the spec is 90.
The voltages on B1, B4 are 72.8 Volts....the spec is 90.

The tuebs are RCA 6AS7 and a Bugle Boy 12AU7.

Should I be concerned??

Thanks
Alex

The Speedball manual (currently at least) specs 75-90V for those voltages.  A lower voltage indicates stronger emission from the tube than a higher voltage.
