I have an Astro Mach 800 tube base amp that i'm having trouble with.It has one 6JE6C driving 4 6JE6C's.The tube's are 100%.It doesnt produce hardly any output though.When keyed and if you apply pressure on the tuning capacitor knob at the back,it will produde around 6 to ten watts of output.Then a couple of the final tubes will start to cherry orange.I havent keyed it up but a couple of time's in an effort not to fry the tube's.I cant find a diagram or any information on this amp.Any help on it would be greatly appreciated as i would hate to throw this thing out the back door!
