Resistance Check: Need a double check please.

Terminal Strips
1,6 Infinity on both - Manual says infinity on both
2,7 Infinity on both - Manual says infinity on both
4 - 1.07k - Manual says 1.07k
9 - 1.07k - Manual says 1.07k
5 -  000.2 - Manual says 0 ohms
10 - 000.2 - Manual says 0 ohms

Rotary Switch:
1,4 Infinity on both - Manual says infinity on
2,3,5,6 Infinity on all - Manual says infinity on all
7,10 Infinity on both - Manual says infinity on both
8 - 1.075k - Manual says 1.07k
9 - 1.075k - Manual says 1.07k
11 - 1.08k - Manual says 1.07k
12 - 1.08k - Manual says 1.07k

Volume Pot:
A side 0 on top/bottom - Manual says 0 ohms on both
Center .001/.001 top/bottom - Manual says 0-100k ohms depending (don't know on what)
B side - 96.9 upper - Manual says 90-100k ohms
B side - 88.5 lower - Manual says 90-100k ohms (This is the one I'm most worried about)

I wanted to check and see if these are where they need to be before I move to voltages? Can anyone confirm I'm ready to go onto checking the voltages?

Thanks in advance for your help,
Kevin  :-\

Side note: This is my first kit to build!  :)

Kevin,

To make it easier to help you just post any readings that are over 15% high or low.  Also the expected value.  You can "Modify" the first post with this information.

The reading of 000.2 (Ohms?) counts for zero Ohms.

Look at the final picture of the completed Quickie.  Do your wires come from and go to the same points?  Do this after a good night's sleep.

If I am interpreting your info right, everything looks ok.  I'm not sure what the 000.2 means either, but it just might be how your meter displays low values. Try just touching your lead tips together and see what is reads. This is your "real" zero. (and 0.2 is basically zero).  The 88.5k reading is still pretty close to expected, and probably reflects variation in the pot (they are good pots but not the most precisely made ones, which is why upgrading it is one of the mods just about everyone makes to their kits. The worst that could happen here is there may be a slight balance issue, and may not even be noticeable.
The 0-100k "depending" means depending on how the pot is currently set.  Turned all the way up or down will give 0 or 100k and halfway between it should read somewhere between (it gets complicated since it is on a logarithmic scale. you would think that it would be 50k, but it would probably be somewhat lower (too lazy to figure it out right now)
