Dear Abby,

I think my wife is cheating on me. I am a working musician and, as you
would expect, travel a lot. I have been noticing strange things
happening when I get home. Her cell phone rings and she steps outside
to answer it or she says, "I'll call you back later". When I ask her
who called, she gets evasive. Sometimes she goes out with friends but
comes home late, getting dropped off around the corner and walking the
rest of the way. I once picked up the extension while she was on the
phone and she got very angry. A buddy of mine, who is also a guitar
player, told me that my wife and some guy have been to his gigs. He
wanted to borrow my guitar amp. That's when I got the idea to find out
for myself what was really happening. I said "Sure, you can use my amp
but I want to hide behind it at the gig and see if she shows up, and
who she shows up with." He agreed. Saturday night came and I slipped
behind my Marshall JCM800 half stack to get a good view. I could feel
the heat coming off the back of the amp. It was at that moment,
crouching down behind the amp, that I noticed that one of the tubes
was not glowing as bright as the other three. Is this something I can
fix myself or do I need to take it to a technician?

Thanks,
Very Concerned
