What sort of quiescent mains draw current (240V land) for 6x good 6L6 and
remainder of the amp , if the bias has not been messed around with ?

Fuse is 3A SB for 230V. I'd expect less than 1 amp idle. Didn't you ask
about this amp back in 2009?

That was "lighthouse" neon 47K dropper for 110V used in uk on 240V. Same
with this one needing the mains switch changing , charred and part melted sw
cover this one but holding up at 47K.
This one been run too long with insufficient bias and run away red valves.

Check plate current directly. Its not a great idea to ballpark bias by
mains current...


** Wrong - as always.
