Re: Vortexion reel to reel tape recorder WVA series 5
If the components around the 12BH7 check out OK and you are happy that the valve is good, then I wonder if the bridge rectifier may have a partial fault and be dragging/reducing down the bias signal seen by the meter.
If you have a scope then check the bias signal at the Set Bias pot area and make sure it is a clean and stable sinewave and note its amplitude, the manual indicates frequency will be around 58kHz.
Also check the rectified signal going to the meter.
