Bias Adjustment for EL34's: Notes:

1) With speaker load connected, turn power “ON” and let tubes warm up. Switch standby
to "ON." *Twist filament wires together tightly
*Check Polarity (+ & -) of all Electrolytic Capacitors. In PINOUTS
2) Set your meter to the Highest DC volts setting (600V or higher), and put the common the bias supply the (+) side is grounded.
(ground) lead on one of the chassis mounting nuts or alligator clip it to the chassis. 6CA7 / EL34 12AX7 / ECC83
*All Resistors are 1/2W Unless Noted
Touch the positive lead to Pin 3 (plate) of one of the EL34 power tube sockets. This is
your Plate Voltage. Write it down. *Shielded Wires are only grounded at one end.
*BE VERY CAREFULL WITH THIS STEP (HIGH VOLTAGES PRESENT)* *White wire from PT is for 230V primary.
*Power Transformer: 40-18033
3) EL34's are 25 watts maximum dissipation and you want to set the bias to 70% max *Output Transformer: 40-18025
dissipation. (70% = 17.5 watts) Divide your desired wattage by the plate voltage that you
wrote down from step 2. (example: 17.5/450 = .038 or 38mV) This is your desired bias

(ground) lead to the grounded side of the 1 ohm resistor coming off of Pin 1 and the
positive lead to the Pin 1 side. Adjust the bias potentiometer until the bias voltage you
calculated from from Step 3 is achieved.

Plate voltage will change a little when adjusting the bias, so you may need to take
another reading from Pin 3 and adjust your equation accordingly and repeat steps 3 & 4.
