Hi All-

I am bringing up a 32V-1 which I have just cleaned up. I still have not applied HV yet, and I'm trying to do a first cut alignemnt before I try to drive the PA.

I'm following the alignment procedure in the manual, which calls for tuning for max PA grid current with no HV applied (HV primary fuse removed).

My question is, what are normal numbers in this case? I'm only seeing around 3 mA grid current max; would have expected much more...

Thanks,
