How to get KT90s tested

@andrew31829 In the above post replace ’plate resistor’ with ’cathode or screen resistor’. But the idea that the tubes took out the power supply because they were bad and yet the power supply is rated to handle the higher powered KT120s doesn’t sit well with me.

Thank you for replies.  Jadis installed the KT120s after the power supply repair.  I myself have doubts about the KT90 valves taking our the power supply hence the test request.  (I say KT90 because I think KT99 are just selected KT90s but I may be wrong). A resistor broke and a PS wire melted its insulation with smoke was the fail mode when I turned it on.

It takes a bit of current to melt insulation on a wire! That suggests a short- I suspect the power tubes had nothing to do with it.

Do you have a local Audio shop or dealer (better if they sell tube gear)my bet is they will have a tester or know of one locally you can get them tested at.  

KT99's were rebranded by Gold Aero and I believe KT91's were rebranded by VTL. I have TT99's and KT99A's that are both Gold Aero. The KT99A's do say premium where the KT99's do not
