Hi PB. I just wanted to check if the 6.3v at the power supply is suppose to read around 51v? I have the old manual so it says 6.3v but I just looked at one of the recent posts here that it's suppose to be between 50v and 55v with the newer Mainline models?

The Mainline 1.1 uses the new Eros 2 power supply board, which biases up the 6.3V supply to +50V, so you'll see about 50V on one terminal and 56V on the other.
