Reverse engineering on bias

[chcjunior]

Is there a device that you can plug into your power tube socket(s) that will tell you what your current bias setting is? I need to buy tubes for my Rivera Chubster 40....and I have no idea how to set the bias on it. So, I figure if I knew the current bias setting I could just buy tubes rated for that.

Yes, a Weber BiasRite will let you do that. I use mine all the time if I don't want to pull out the chassis.

The bias rite will do that but it won't help you find tubes that match the current ones. The good news is that if you have a bias rite, you can set the bias on the Rivera yourself.

Excellent......just what I needed to know. Thanks.

Just got an email back from Bob at Eurotubes walking me thru the bias process on the Rivera. I also just picked up a BiasRite off of Ebay so I'm ready to roll.
