..B+ voltage: would you believe -0.758? Guys this is going nowhere and one of the bottleheads here has offered to fix it for me so that's what I plan to do. No patience at my age and with one eye...that's right one and hands that are not quite as steady as they once were, the idea of resoldering that mess around the PS...no thanks. I used to do everything around the house never paying anyone to do anything. That approach has done a 180 since I retired 8 years ago. I just don't have it in me anymore so my crack..sorry, my amplifier..will be boxed up and shipped to the nice man who offered to bail me out...post haste.
