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.

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?

That would be my first guess, John.  Have you rebuilt the AC4??  If not, 
it's Heathkit Shop time, hi.  I don't think I'd do the bias cap and leave 
the other time bombs in there myself.
