First build, everything looks great. All resistance and voltage checks are good. When I insert a 1/4 adapter into the headphone jack (testing with crummy earbuds), I get voltage on the chassis. It goes back to ground when removed. I did continuity checks on every point that should be a ground, and everything
240vDC and about 6VAC. Kind of scratching my head. Has anyone dealt with this and or is this is how the circuit is designed.
EDIT: PENDING REPAIR... Possible Discovery of issue.

Was missing a junction on the headphone jack, I did not follow instructions properly and did not junction the bottom lugs together hence the absence of a ground when the headphones were inserted.
Fun builds never leave you with 100% success.
