Joule Electra VZN 100 Need help

What happened after your miswire insident?

The problem is that I rewired the power inlets (the ones without the fuse holder) and I'm pretty sure I mis-wired one of those, somehow, as I was damn careful. I was also under the illusion that they carried AC. My stupidity. The variac wiring seems straightforward and I'm almost certain that it is correct. Voltage appears normal on both amps but on the right amp, the power tubes don't light. On the left amp, they light too brightly when bringing up the voltage. This condition follows the amp if I reverse left to right. Anotherwards, the power cords don't seem to make a difference.

And after careful measurements with an ohm meter I made the wires match what the ohm meter would suggest is the same, banking on the amps are wired as mirror images. Thought I was on to something as it was so logical.. Now I have no voltages showing on either meters and no power to either amps power tubes. I pretty much "cooked my goose".

You may want to try to post on the OTL asylum at audioasylum.com. Those guys seem to know a lot. Wonderful amps. Sorry you are having a problem.

Hi Desalvo55 you should contact Rich Brkick at Signature Sound, a very nice person, he works on Joule and might be willing to guide you!!!!
