Well there I was an hour ago talking to my usual 80 meters group when they were all signing out I put the Yaesu FL- 2100B on stand by and and walked into the kitchen to get something to eat when BAM a loud gunshot nois errupted from the livingroom I came in and asked my wife and youngest daughter what the hell they did.
They looked at me puzzled and insisted it was something I did in the kitchen I assured them I did nothing I started looking around thinking ohhh ohhhhhh Ilooked at the amp which was still running as it was I looked at it some more then switched to operate keyed gave my callsign and all was good 7oo out wher it was before I left. I put the amp on standby and within a few seconds BAM!!! once again.
I said what the hell so now my wife said it was indeed coming form over by my bench I started looking into the top of the amplifier once again when BAM!@!! sure enough there by the tubes was a loud gunshot bang and blue flaming spaking flash my wife said she seen it from across the room it scared the $h!+ out of me all was still lit up but I imediately turned off and unplugged the amplifier pulled it out of line and packed it away until its journey to wherever for the repair if need be.
What the hell would do this Like I said power was still there and its coming fro where the tubs are in the back right corner. First though I had was did a bug crawl in there or what the hell would do this or cause it?? Anyone ever seen this or heard it before?
