   yea, that's what I thought.. I did measure my AC line, but don't remember the   
   exact voltage, but it was not out of the norm.   
      
   No tubes were removed, the amp was at idle with about 10 minutes warm-up time.   
   I'll take a look at the AC HV tonight.   
      
   Oh, and I don't suppose there is a line voltage selection of any time is   
   there? If it was tapped for 110VAC that might explain it. I get something   
   close to 120-125 VAC here.   
      
   I have a variac, and so I will put it inline and see what it takes to get them   
   lower. I guess I should look at AC filament voltages too?
