Re: Low heater voltage 124 classic (FIXED)
Once I was bringing the votage up incrementally on a Pro Jr. build. I dialed the variac to about 50% full voltage, left the room where the chassis and my son on a nearby computer were. A few minutes later I hear a loud POP! I rush back in the room and see a puff of smoke rising from the amp. My son is like "what was that!"
Wired the bias supply wrong and blew up an electrolytic cap.

That's a very good looking amp. Great job!
