I installed 6v6 tung sol in my friends tweaker, now I get
An oscillating hum if that makes any sense. Moreso with gain.
Now I know the tweakers are cathode bias and don't need
Biasing, the ts from the tube store have a sticker that says
Bias point at 25, ok.
I connected my bias probe to them and each one was marking
45 mv, is that for both or each tube?
The main issue is that hum like a sine wave. Steady
 
thats the thing bruce,
the ruby 6v6s were shot, one of them looked like it had some white crap coming out of the plastic base, like dried up caulking around a sink. plus there was no sound at all. only 1 was lighting up.
plus i was using a bias probe from amp-head, that has a selector for tube 1 and tube 2 mv, and another switch for vP.
it would measure something like 45 for each tube, and cant remember the vP.
im thinking thats for both tubes though, right?
