Hi, I have a Valvestate which just makes a low noise when I switch it on. I've been able to start it by using a speaker cable which is open on one side (no plug, so I can see the two cables inside). Then after switch it on I quickly touch the two cables from the side without connector and then the amp starts allright. I see a spark. (Odd isn't it?) Can anyone make a guess what's wrong with the amp? How can I fix it? Thanks.
Thanks for your info! I'll check the tube soon. I just opened the amp (I was out of use for at least 2 years) and found some cables in very bad condition. One of the guesses I got was about a bad connection which somehow was fixed after shorting the circuit with the speaker cables. I'll repare the cables and see what happens, if it still does not work I'll check more bad connections and the tube.
Thanks a lot for your help!! I'll post the results here.
