[R-390] Line Level Meter not working...Help a newbie!

[Larry H]

Hi  David,  Jacques is right and that is probably it.  But, if not, the
meter might be stuck - try tapping on the face.  Or try turning the line
gain up to 5 or 6 and the line meter switch to 0 or -10 (try exercising
this switch a little, also).  Then try hooking up 600 ohm phones, AC meter,
or speaker to line out on the back.  If nothing there, try swapping the
6ak6 outputs v603 and v604.  If still nothing, try a different 5814 at v602.

Regards, Larry
