I thought of doing that, but I understood you to say that the bias resistor would not prevent the amp from turning on. I;ve already checked the filaments on the tubes, and they are intact. Should I also check the bias resistors?

6550 Tube Blew - A Few Questions
Hi. While listening to my system the other night, I noticed one of the power tubes for the right channel glowed extra bright, and static came through the speaker. I immediately shut down the amp, and haven't turned it back on.
Is it possible to check for damage to the other channel or other parts of the amp without installing a new tube to replace the blown one? I don't want to buy a matched pair and then discover that the amp has other damage.
Is it safe to test each channel with the other channel's tubes removed? Thanks!
