I just finished assembling my new SEX amp and there are a few of my resistance readings I want to check with you all before proceeding to the voltage tests. On terminals 30,31, & 32 I get 215 ohms. And on terminals H2, H4, H5, & H7 I get 214 ohms. Is that ok, or did I screw something up? Also, I got to the end and had six 100K ohm resistors left over that I didn't see any place for. Am I getting these numbers because those were supposed to be installed somewhere?

215 ohms isn't a problem. Some meters can resolve those resistances better than others.
Can you pop up a photo of the 100K resistors? My guess is that those got swept into your kit by mistake.

Sure, here you go.

That's really odd, that doesn't look to be a part we even keep in the inventory.
-
Just as a followup; the manual doesn't seem to even indicate resistances for the aforementioned terminals (they just have an asterisk next to them); as long as the meter measures a non-zero value, will this be OK?
-
Yes, something really low is a problem. Anything else is OK.
