Has anyone worked on a TRAM D201? The meter needle is pegged all the way to the left below zero when I turn it on and then it goes back to zero when I turn it off. I tried tinkering with the meter adjustment in the far right back of the radio but it doesn't do any good. Any ideas to a fix?

I had the same problem on a D201. changed either a 6GH8A or a 12AX7A, its been so long ago I would have to look again, but its one of those tubes. After I changed it it went to working normal again. If I find out for sure I will let you know.

Did you ever figure out the Tram D201 issue? I believe I have both tubes if needed.
