Dear Abby
« on: 8 May 2007, 11:56 pm »
Dear Abby,

I think my wife is cheating on me. I am a travelling musician and note strange things when I come home.
Her cell phone rings and she steps outside or says "call me later..." When I ask her who called she gets evasive.
Sometimes she goes out with friends but comes home late, getting dropped off around the corner and walking the rest of the way home.
I once picked up the extension phone while she was talking and she got very angry.

A friend of mine plays guitar in a band. He told me my wife and some guy shows up sometimes at their gig.
He wanted to borrow my amp. That's when I got the idea to find out for myself. I said: "Sure you can use my amp but I want to hide
behind it and see if she comes into the club and who with."  He agreed.

Saturday night came. I slipped behind my Marshall JCM800 half stack to get a good view. I could feel the heat coming off the back of the amp.  It was at that moment, crouching down, when I noticed one of my power tubes was not glowing like the other three.
Is this something I can fix myself or do I need to take it to a technician?

Thanks,
Very Concerned.

Dear Milihi,

I'm sure this is something you can fix. These things happen. It may take some time to get the problem resolved but don't give up and throw in the towel.

I would suggest you seek the help of a professional and ask their advice or seek advice from others that have dealt with this type of problem before and see what they did to work through it to get it resolved. While you will save some cost trying to fix the problem yourself, keep in mind that a professional has years of experience and maybe able to help you correct the problem faster than you would on your own.

Certain problems like yours can be delicate and there is certainly an expectation of complications. If the tubes are NOS, it's really going to cost you and it might just be cheaper to walk away and let it go.
