after spending about 30mins searching the interent im still stuck. my friend has given me his Bassman 100 tube amp from the 70's to try to repair. ive taken an electronics class so im not an expert but i can figure it out after awhile. the problem is 2 of the 4 tubes are super heating. they heat up when the standby is off and it takes about 1 min to heat up. from one site i looked at they said it was a bais problem. but i measured the voltage of pin 5 of the tubes and i got around -50 dc volts and on the 4th tube im getting about -60 dc volts. and they described the bais problem would be showing 0 volts and in a working amp it should ideally read around -50. so as of now im stuck on what to do.
