Hello.  I am a complete newbie here.  I have been doing well up until getting the heaters to glow on my build.  The previous two checks in the instructions went well.  I have ran through the instructions and checked the location of all my wires twice but obviously I am missing something.  Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

Is the fuse installed?  It's easy to overlook that step.
If it is then the fastest and easiest resolution from BH support happens when you post pictures

Hello.    Thanks for the reply.  I did check and make sure the fuse is in and not burnt.  I have attached a photo.

Measure the DC voltage between H4 and H5 (preferably with no tubes installed).

Hello.

   Thank you.  When I went to check what you asked I found something I missed earlier.  The black wire on the "N" terminal on the power socket had broken off somewhere along the line.  Soldered it up and got my glow.  Thanks!!!!
