Bias adjustment


I need to set the bias on my vacuum tube amplifier.  Does anyone know where I can BUY an amp meter that reads milliamps?  Most I have seen are for large AMP applications.

I just had a bit of a tiff also with Cary. I ask for a schematic, hand written, or partial for the hexfred upgrade. Didn’t ask where it goes, or to hold my hand while someone else does it. I asked TWICE. Just ignored the request.

I bought a case of Coca-Cola and called up there head office and requested the formulae and was also ignored.  
When he wants to fix it.. Like I've done for over 50 years. What a dumb thing to say. Is there a repair manual for my 40,000.00 intellectual piece of property setting in my driveway? YES it's required by LAW.. Even a friggin RR provides a complete manuel front to rear on their intellectual property.. Bower, corp. 1-20 million dollar machines, EVERY nut and bolt
location, and where it was bought. Think before you speak, I own the damn thing, I have the right to fix it, especially, if I can do a BETTER job...I am qualified to fix what I know, not what you don't..

Your auto analogy is a poor one.  The reason you have a service manual for your car is that in the automotive world, federal legislation requires auto manufacturers to provide manuals!  

A lot of electronic manufactures do not release service manuals to unauthorized service centres/individuals due to liability issues. If they send you a service manual or write down on a piece of paper a circuit mod and you go ahead and electrocute yourself, who’s liable? What about intellectual theft and copyright infringement that is prevalent in the electronics industry? Don’t manufactures have the right to protect said property. Electronic manufactures are under no obligation to support the DIY crowd.
