Why would the fillament wires get extremely hot, to the point of melting. I’m using 18 gauge wire. And I’ve checked all soldering. It’s only the wires that go from the pilot light to the 6v6 power tube.
Hello @mikecasey,
That sounds like a hard short. Do not power the unit as you risk damaging the mains transformer.
- I suspect you will be able to locate the short by measuring resistance using a multimer.
- It may be necessary to lift (unsolder) wires to locate the short.
Happy soldering,
