[HAM] L100 TUBES

[Ray Winkel]

My Opinion,
Tubes are not much of a problem with Hammonds.  Hammond didn't bias their
tubes very hot so they last a long time.  My M111a still has all of the
origional tubes in it.  I have had a couple of problems though.   The grid
bias resistors on both of the preamp tubes (6AU6s) went bad at different
times.  I worked with another guy who had the same problem. The moral of the
story is; don't just replace all the tubes 'cause it's old.  Measure
voltages and fix the problem.  It will save you a lot of money.
