S.E.X. Failed Resistance Check

[Paul Birkeland]

That is the correct reading for that terminal with no tubes installed if your meter is able to ignore the big capacitor there.

Noted, so would it be safe to assume all of the terminals that read like that are good to go? Also, does the slight resistance reading for T15 raise any concerns?

You can tighten the screws a little bit, but 2 Ohms is plenty close to 0 for these purposes.

Sounds good, thank you so much for your help Paul, I really appreciate it.

Are those probes connected to the meter properly for measuring R's?  Not familiar with that meter.

[Paul Birkeland]

You are correct, the probes aren't in the right holes.  the "A" hole is only for measuring current. 

Thankfully the shunt that's present wont throw off the DC resistance readings, but it would still be a good idea not to have that in there (and you could make some fun sparks if you measured DC voltages and accidentally had the meter probes set up to read current).

Good catch, thanks guys

I was able to sneak away from the family and do some voltage checks, certainly at a good time now that I won't blow up my new multimeter thanks to jdm! Everything looked well within range, and I'm currently pumping out some tunes as I type this! For reference:
