My BC-375 quit while tuning up for the weekend net. 

Plate current pegs the meter, but no apparent output. 
All tubes happily lit up. 

Plate current will NOT dip at all. 

B+ drops 50V more than usual. 

TX/RX relay sounds OK, but have not taken off the back panel yet. 

Maybe a blown bypass cap in there somewhere?
