Was having some issues with it running on the bright side. Very weird.
Decided to pull the chassis out and check around the tube sockets. Yep, lots of aluminum dust. Not enough to cause issue though. I had it worse with the RA100. I will be changing tubes and see if that makes much of a difference. Power tubes and Rectifiers are in good shape, Have not run the Roadster much since I changed them to new. Still running the STR440 yellow bias colors. Have plenty of extras since I stocked up a few years ago.
Want to see if the STR448 (Red bias color) have the same ill effect as they did in the MWDR. My reference for the work ill was sic, nasty and huge dark grind I never heard before especially with a 7 String guitar. Before that tube swap, it was not possible to run the MWDR with 7 string unless you like mud-fest tone.
I did not take any pictures of the aluminum dust though, Already cleaned it up and ready to install tubes.
