Hey I just got a Sovtek Mig-50 for really cheap cuz it wasn't working. I guessed it was the tubes so I changed them and it came back alive. Then one of them started to overheat and glow bright red. I took the amp apart and noticed a resistor had come off, so I soldered it back. The Thing worked fine, but I fire it up now and and the same problem w/ the tube overheating keeps happening. I've tried changing tubes again, swapping sockets, and it STILL keeps happening. It's worse when the amp is cranked, but that's normal, i guess. Any Ideas?
