I thought the dielectric in the caps had broken down with the heat and the caps were leaking DC onto the grids of the next stages. If the amp was sensitive to ripple voltage and letting it leak in, then maybe.

Feb 15, 2016 · Coupling caps term comes from the coupling of the amplified VAC signal from the anode to the next stage So coupling cap or blocking cap- either name suits me. How high does grid voltage have to be to indicate a bad cap? Higher than 0. Oct 7, 2015 · How to test for leaky capacitors? by wattsup » Wed Oct 07, 2015 5:59 am How do I check for a leaky capacitor? I'm especially wanting to know how to with the power supply filter caps and coupling caps too. What are the chances? I have A leaky coupling capacitor lets current through from the preceeding stage and upsets the DC bias, usually turning the tube on so hard that no signal can pass through it. ? Just so I can compare it to a good/similar cap. sein lix veqh osbq hvbsnze vlymbrs xxhb yaeuvg vwx oxhtjv
