Will the burnt out led matter?

Not particuarly, I'm looking for the voltages at 1/5 to pop up.

Almost identical to the first set I gave earlier, except A6 has a reading as it did in the second set. The led blinks on when I check it too.

Ooo, this is good info, can you pop out the 12AU7 and repeat?

Hmm, there is still a power supply issue, could you pop some photos up of that?  There are a fair number of potential sources, but a photo should make it pretty clear.

Can I see the area around the diode bridge?

Is the ground lug by the IEC entry socket soldered?

Alright, with no tubes in, what is the AC voltage between 18 and 19?

With the power turned on?  Are you 100% sure?

(It's not possible to have 0V AC across these terminals and any DC voltage anywhere else in the amplifier)

Yeah it's zero. Does that mean my transformer is DOA? I can actually see the needle just barely twitch when I touch the probe, but it still settles at zero. I get voltages everywhere else

Is your meter set to measure AC volts when you take the measurement?

Was it supposed to be? I've been using it set to 500 DC...
