I finally checked that but couldn't find any trouble thereMalcolm Irving wrote: ↑Thu Sep 21, 2017 3:08 pm A leaking coupling cap onto the grid of the EL84 can do that. It puts a positive DC on the grid which overcomes the
bias. You can check the DC voltage at the EL84 grid - it should be close to zero. Anything approaching, or above, 1 Volt
could indicate too much DC leaking through the associated coupling cap.
