Title: RED TENT HELP!!
Post by: goldtooth on May 05, 2014, 05:32:58 pm
so i picked up an old beat up Red Tent after much searching. one of the monitors was DOA.
I pulled the monitor found a blown fuse, replaced it and fired it up. Now there was sparking coming from the anode cup...
i discharged, clean all the dust and crap, plugged it back in and it fired up (for about 10 seconds) then i heard a snap and saw some sparking coming from the neck.
Did i just murder the tube?
what next?
please tell me the tube isn't destroyed!
