Thanks to all for the help with the bias problem on the sb-101. neutralized the finals ,didn't help so reworked all the grounds on the driver board area and tightened all the mounting screws, cleaned tube pins and cleaned the tube shield fingers on the tube bases and the covers. Fired it up and all is well in river city. Bias is now fine on every band and full out on each band. 

new question, the audio on the 101 sounds very shrill,tinny and very touchy to tune in clear,both usb/lsb. Iam I missing something in the alignment or setup that would cause this ? or is this the nature of the beast. I saw sveral articals on component changes on a coupla of boards,but to get into the boards  after they have been mounted,looks like damage waiting to happen.
     thanks again to everybody that had a idea on the bias problem
