     There's a, "key" on the side of the, "guide pin" and that fits in a, "keyway", in the side of the, "guide pin hole", to be precise (correct nomenclature).      Folks still interchange the terms, however.              

     Push a couple bare wires and/or resistor leads together with a piece of plastic and let me know how that works out for you.

                       Have a nice (imaginary) day, "Jason Bourne".

Where are you located, NJ, I'm in Plainfield, and drive 35 minutes to VAS in Cliffwood. I agree, Steve and his son Ray at VAS are terrific.

I will call VAS, I also called Bristol Electronics in HoHoKus who used to be a primaluna repair.   I checked fuse on autobias and it is ok, so i have a feeling it is a resister or something under the socket.   groan

btw, does anyone know who might rent or loan an amp for a few months while waiting for fix?
