Anyone had and trouble with Jadis JP 80 amps


I was demoing a pair of JA.80s with KT-88s and on 2 occasions a tube fuse blew. Just wondered if people are having any reliability peoblems or is this just an isolated occurance??

Hi, It should be a dark green 150R Resistor across the base of the tube
Just take bottom cover off and you'll see it--replace and test--though it sounds like a dicky tube, but I have replaced them and the units operate OK.

So give it ago it is easy to resolder plenty of empty real estate in their!

God Luck,

Agree with Gmuffley about the high bias and tube failures. The old MO Valve and GEC KT88s lasted well in them, but every 6550 tube I tried started going bad within a year, and EL34s about the same. Too bad I didn't know about the trick with the resistors to lower the bias, might have saved me some money on retubing.
