I found some nylon spacers in the parts bin at the local Ace Hardware store
that fit the bill exactly. No modifications required. (Sorry, no part number available).

I reinstalled the switch and while I was in there I put a thermister in
each leg of the filament transformer primary just to avoid any future pitting.

I fired it up and... nothing. No power out except the drive power (about 60w).
So now I've got another question for the group.

I can dip the plate current to about 180 ma. and the corresponding grid current
rises to about 400 ma. The LOAD control has no affect, whatsoever. I even
removed the thermisters just in case since that's really the only thing I changed.
HV is good, T/R relay is OK, filaments light up, idle current is OK (about 180 ma).
The 3-500Z's aren't shorted.

Can someone suggest where else I might look?

Thanks,

Hi All,

Last night I removed the power switch on my L7 amp to
repair pitted contacts. All went well until I went to reinstall
the switch. The mounting holes on the ears are larger than
the standoffs they mount to so that the switch just flops around.

Can someone look at their L7 to see how the switch is
mounted to the standoffs? I'm guessing washers are used but
I checked the workbench surface and I shook the L7 to
dislodge anything loose but found nothing.

Thanks for checking.
