Troubleshooting

Most problems will be traced to defective vacuum tubes. However, if normal tests do not eas- ily reveal the problem, feel free to call the factory for assistance. If you lack access to a qual- ified service technician with vacuum tube equipment repair experience, you may return the VT-15 to the factory for repair. Call first, however, for shipping information.

Factory Check-Out

We will always provide free testing and alignment of any of our products. There is no charge except for shipping in and out, and any parts that are not covered by the warranty. Call for instructions. We can usually return a properly-performing VT-15 in a couple of days. If repairs are needed, we will discuss it with you before proceeding. We always operate any repaired VT- 15 for at least 24 hours to make sure it is operating properly before return.

Warranty Repair

If the VT-15 should develop a problem during the five-year warranty period, call the factory for return shipping instructions. We will repair and return your VT-15 quickly. Note that the warranty does not cover vacuum tubes, which must be periodically replaced.
