We've just built two A15mk1's. One works great but the other one gives too high BIAS voltage (90mV), the voltage does not change at all when trying to trim VR9. The tubes always glow blue.
We double checked the wiring and can't find anything obvious.
If it helps in troubleshooting: we also found that the voltage after the rectifier was less then specified in the manual (V1.4). We measured approx. 210V instead of the specified 292V. Voltage at pin 8 and 9 on TR1 seems fine. The amps both work and sound good, but we're a bit worried that the high voltage and blue glow will affect durability of the tubes.
Grateful if you could point us in the right direction.
