[Hammarlund] Weird problem with my HQ-129-X.

[Glen Zook]

Have seen such problems many times.  Usually the
isulation on the original cotton covered wire has
become so brittle that the slightest movement will
cause it to "flake off".  When that happens, all sorts
of shorts can happen.

A single wire running from the filament tie-point to
the 6V6 burned up turning cherry red and emitting
copious quanties of smoke. The 6V6 tests fine. The
only thing I have been able to come up with is that
the wire shorted to the chassis. The socket shows no
leakage to chassis. First time I have had this kind of
thing happen! Anyone have anything similar happen? Comments?
