Ashdown CTM100 power valves

Hello!

Any owners of the glorious Ashdown CTM100 ever changed the output valves? I picked one up for a ridiculous price on eBay but one the power valves has gone and the other is running quite “hot” according to the built-in bias meter.

I’ll probably send it to Ashdown for a complete health check but might do so with my choice of output valve... looking at the Genalex Golden Lion reissue probably.

Any thoughts?

It’s been fairly extensively toured and it’s a bit grubby in general so I think it’s just a case of the valve finally having enough. Or a dodgy valve of course... Either way it’s off to Ashdown for some tlc so it’ll have new valves, would be interesting if anyone has changed the standard JJs for anything else!

To be fair I’ve had a tendency to accumulate gear before when I couldn’t really afford to. Now I have a little bit of a cushion so I’ve gone a bit crazy but apart from wanting a Four10 cab I’m now 100% sorted for amplification. I don’t gig enough to justify it but I like to hoard :)
