Hey all, I am new to the group, and would like to start off by picking the 
collective brain :-)) I am having trouble with my T-4XB. I was working CW with 
it the other day when all of a sudden, it shot a fuse. I changed out the fuse 
and started it back up. The new fuse didn't blow, but when the set warms up, 
and the tubes start to conduct, the TX/RX relay kicks in and the plate meter 
starts to show a lot of plate current, around .25 to .3 on the meter. The 
transmitter won't tune, won't key, won't do anything except light up. I did a visual 
check underneath, and nothing is obviously burned. or out of place. I thought 
it may be the 6EV7 tube associated with the relay, but I have no way of 
testing the one in the set, or any of the others I got with it.  Anyway, I thought 
this may be a common problem associated with this particular set and decided to 
put the problem in front of the all knowing ones of the famous Drake list! 
Anybody got any ideas?
