Terminal 9 & B6's voltage on Crack [solved]

[flytothemoon]

Good afternoon all.

This is my first DIY project and I don't have really much knowledge about electronic. So it will be very nice of you if you can help me troubleshoot my problem.

I just finished building my crack and went to the checking. Resistances are except 13 couldn't climb to 270. Then I did the voltage check. Everything was fine except the Terminal 9 & B6's voltage read 170V while they should be 100v.

What should I do to fix it? Thanks very much for your help.

Is the white wire that should go from T5 to B4 connected to T4 instead?

[flytothemoon]

No, that white wire connects right from B4 to 5L. Is there anything else that might cause this problem?

More information: the 2 tubes, the 2 LEDs lit, however i was just able to listen to to right channel. Left channel was dead.

Can you pop up a pic of the octal socket?

A dead tube should show 0V on that terminal, so I'm thinking there's a miswire somewhere.

The octal socket is mounted incorrectly, the notch should face the front of the chassis, as per the manual.

Totally my bad. Thanks for your answer, I redo everything and my Crack works now.
