Title: resistance checks
Post by: KevO on April 07, 2013, 06:17:35 PM

Greetings forum gurus.

 Please forgive my ignorance regarding resistance results.

1. The manual says terminal 1 and 16 should start high and drop to 4 ohms. I just get 4 ohms. Fine right?

2. Terminal 7 and 12 should measure 470k and I get only 455k on 7, but a fine 472k on 12. Should I replace the resistor on 7 or is that within tolerance?

3. Terminals 10 and 15 are supposed to start low and work up to 20k+  but I read about 290k and it very slowly drops. Is that an issue?

4. C4 and C5 read the same - about 2.8M and D4 and D5 read the same - about 1.1M. Is that OK?

All the other readings seem OK. Just want to verify before power testing.

Thank you!!

-Kevin

I'd go ahead and power it up, some of the resistance behaviors will vary a bit based on the meter used.

The 455k vs. 472k shouldn't present any problems.

Thanks PB!
