Looking for some help. We built the Crack about a month ago and it was working great. We decided to add in the Speedball today. We got the small circuit board installed just fine and are having an issue with the large board. The OA resistance check passed but the OB one is not. We are not getting any reading at it or the 7U joint either.
 Everything looks to be set up properly and the solder joints look good too. Any ideas what could be going wrong? Thanks alot

What is the reading you are getting (in other words, what has lead you to the determination that you didn't pass the resistance check)?

This is the text from the manual:

"Resistance Check
Attach the black probe to terminal 12U.
Measure the resistance at OB and OA on the large board. They should read very high, in the
hundreds of KΩ (it could be over the limit of your meter. Consult your meter's manual for
how a description of how the meter will display over limit readings).
If either measures less than 100Ω, go back to page 22 and carefully examine the instructions.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCE"

What resistance did you get on the other side?

Well we did get a reading in the 100s of kOhms at OA at first...we then rewired and resoldered everything and are now getting no resistance at both OB and OA now. At 20MOhm setting, we're getting open. We've rechecked that wires are going to and from the right places a bunch of times now.

We don't know what we could have screwed up.

Or is what we're seeing okay? We were just concerned that we did get a reading at OA at first. Could that just be from a Cap discharging from when we did the small circuit board voltage check?

I think we just may have had a Cap discharging given us weird readings at first. We proceeded to the Voltage check. All LEDs lit and all voltages passed. I think we were just being overly cautious. You can close or marked this solved. Thank you for your help and patience.
