Just bought a used Allnic T1500 and there is no sound or bias in the left channel

What is it doing?  I mean are tubes lighting up?  I would check the resistors with an ohm meter.  It is likely a bad cap or a bad resistor.

Both tubes light and I tried spares as well along with a new fuse. I'm not comfortable poking around inside, but I had a look under the cover and did not see anything that stood out visually.

There's this dude up in Phinney ridge area with about 50,000 tubes in his basement that I think used to be the official guy for VAC.  Trying to remember his name, but maybe someone else will chime in - he's very talented and one of the few options for this in Seattle.

Call Hawthorne Stereo at 206-522-9609. If they can't fix it, they will know who can.

Incredibly high rating on Yelp.  Worth checking out.

Thanks all!

I was the same way for a long time.  But, well, the resistor checks are easy.  Caps are a bit tougher.  Good luck.  If you find the dude with the 50,000 tubes in his basement, send all the CBS tubes my way...

Mike this is Tyson. Do not go to Hawthorne audio. It was the worst audio experience of my life. The guy they use for tube amp repair sucks and they won't stand behind their work. If you want the details let me know, but they're awful.

How did it finally turn out ? I have the same amplifier and the same problem too (sound stops on the left side once the amplifier is hot).

Tyson, you look so different. 

No kidding? I've never done business with them, but I was told by someone (don't recall whom) that they're a great shop. Okay. I will not recommend that place again. Thanks!

Have you found someone yet to look at your amp?
