Re: Re: short circuit

Congrats on getting it up and running…
Be sure to check through the circuit (with the current limiter attached) and confirm that there are no intermittent shorts. Use a chop stick to push on the solder connections, start with the tube sockets and be sure nothing is touching. Although anything is possible, it’s likely that the issue is not just a faulty transformer. A bad tube can act as your description as well.
