Build Help: Potentially High Voltage on T2 and T4

[edklipp]

Hi all,

Just finished building my BottleHead Crack and got some potentially high numbers when doing the Voltage Checks.  Below are my full numbers but basically everything looks good with the exceptions of Terminal 2 and Terminal 4, which appear to be ~15% above the recommended 170V.

T1: 83
T2: 194
T3: 0
T4: 196
T5: 85
---------
T6: 0
T7: 114
T8: 0
T9: 114
T10: 0

I spent today touching up a good number of my solder joints and reviewing the tests from the Power Transformer Input Wiring steps. Everything comes out fine in the initial and secondary power transformer tests. Additionally the resistances all came back normal.

Any suggestions on what to troubleshoot next, if anything? Any specific solder points I should be looking at? Is this just a case of a particularly strong 6080 tube?

Those are a little high, but nothing to be concerned about.  I would guess that your line voltage is probably on the higher end of whichever range you ended up using.
