Put the amp back into the rack today and reconnected everything up and started to research getting a screw extractor in switzerland.
10 minutes later whilst hunched over the laptop i started to hear music coming from the music room. Wife had assumed i was finished and she powered everyhing up and started playing music - both channels miraculously working! The good news is that the amp is working again! The bad news is i dont know why and I still have a screwed up screw!!!

IMHO it looks like you had a cable connection problem. This is what I thought from the beginning. A tube usually dies slowly. Not in a blink of an eye.

Good deal Paul. I would still casually rectify the stripped screw, so it's done and over. I had an OTL amp some time ago that stopped working. I drove it to Canada (sneaky-sneaky) where the factory was located. They put it on the bench, or whatever it is they do. Needless to say, he said nothing was wrong. I returned home, and it worked fine.
I guess sometimes there's no good explanation...! |

So, it does sound like a cable connection issue. Good!
But, I would fix that screw. After it is out, take out all the tubes and clean their pins with a small wire brush. Reinsert them and pull them back out a couple of times. This way, you get a good, fresh connection with the tubes in the sockets, and any oxidation effects might be minimized. |

Paul,
Do you have a cat ? I would check if nothing pushes up or down a RCA plug. They are very fragile, and not only the Switchcraft used by Shindo....
