Hello,
I just had a tube Red Plate on my VTA-120. Music was replaced by a noise; looked and saw a Red Tube. I have a spare 6550 -- what checks should I perform for other damage, either before or after replacing the tube. Was using a Variac, I think the Variac fuse blew ( shows Variac at 0 volts). Killawatt shows 123V on another outlet. Rightside tube fathest from the transformers / closest to the bias test points.
