Hi,
So my Quickie is all built up, but I have a question on the resistance measurements. The black lead of the multimeter is clipped to the ground, and I see a number of resistance measurements that need to be done : i.e. 1,6 infinity. Does that mean I need to touch the red probe to terminal 1 (and get infinity for resistance) and then do the same to terminal 6? I'm not familiar with the terminology listed in the manual for this.. Thanks!

Yes.

Yes.
Thanks.. At terminal 1, i get 40 M ohms (only sometimes, does that mean it's a cold solder joint, or is that ok?
terminal 6 says 0.. Did I do something wrong?
Here are the final measurements, the ones in bold i'm not sure about. Is it safe to move to voltage checks?
1,6 0 ohms , 0 ohms
2,7 0 ohms , 0 ohms
3,8 0 ohms , 0 ohms
4,9 1.073K , 1.074 K
5,10 0.5 ohm , 0.5 ohm
Rotary
1,4 92.8k, 101.5k
2,3,5,6 0 ohms , 0 ohms, 0 ohms , 0 ohms
7,10 0 ohms , 0 ohms
8,9,10,11,12 1.079K, 1.079K, 1.078K, 1.078K
Potentiometer
A side top 0.5 ohm, bottom 0.5 ohm
Center top 2.1ohm , 2.2ohm
B side top 101.4K
bottom 92.7K
Thanks,
Dave

If you touch your red and black meter leads together, you will probably get something greater than 0 (0.5 Ohms would be my guess) because the meter is measuring the resistance of the test lead wire.
The 92K/101.5K are within 10% of 100K, so there is no need for alarm there.
I'd move along to voltage checks.
