Today I have reviewed every joint in my build. Re-heated questionable connections, and added a bit more solder where needed. I also performed the primary and secondary voltage test on the power supply ((all were normal).
Resistance tests all good. But when go to do voltage tests, I am getting no high voltage at all. I start at the top, getting AC 120 coming in from the plug to the first small circuit board with 45, 46’ 47, 48 terminals. Then I check dc voltage at the ultrafast rectifier and get weird readings like -1.85 or such. I keep moving towards the front of kit and check every spot where B+ high voltage should be occurring, and instead of 388 volts I once again get a weird readout like -1.85.
Then going directly to the 2A3 tube sockets I get similar( -) voltages. Also, as before, LEDs on circuit board are not glowing. A few days ago I removed the circuit board, checked for proper soldering connections and re-installed it.
I really don’t want to have to return my unit to Washington state, but I am lost as what to do next. BTW, I am using a good quality meter- a Fluke 177. Stephen Moses.
