Turn it down, yes.
Now to your thread:
Yes, I am/was under the impression that you were simply trolling - and lets be fair, it doesn't need a degree in psychology to get this impression for somebody surfing also on HCAF.
Over the last time I've marked all threads "solved" when the issue was solved. And in your thread you said "it is working" and that you would send it to Terry if not . . . I thought that Peter's PM to you from this morning (screws, tube retainers) solved the issue.
I apologize and I hope that you will get the amp running asap.
