Blues DeVille PI Problem

[plexi50]

Hello all! Long day as usual. I have a Fender Blues DeVille that has a PI problem. I have 215VDC on pin 6
I have -0- volts on pin #1 /

I once fixed a blues deville that had that same problem, no voltage on one of the plates, I traced the problem to the resistor feeding that plate, because there was voltage before it. It turns out the resistor was open, and fender had a problem with a batch of bad resistors,  and several of those amps ended up developing that same issue.

So check for an open resistor that feeds the plate #1 of the PI.
