You're right! I was in a QSO and noticed it heading towards the peg over a period of 5-10 sec or so. Thought I just needed to redip the finals, but I shut it off fast, when I realized what was happening. Can't recall whether this rig has 6JB6's or 6GJ5's in it.

That makes two I need to re-do. Guess it's time to call the Heath Shop and get a kit, since both of these supplies are original, and since I'm under the hood.....

Subject: [Drakelist] Creeping plate current

I noticed my plate current creeping up and up and up while using my C line today...fortunately I think I turned it off in time to save the finals (I hope)

I'm guessing I lost the bias supply (cap ?) .... would that be your first stop too?
