I assembled and installed my PJCSS upgrade kit today, replacing the Hammond chokes I had installed previously. However, my voltage measurements are NOT good, and neither is the sound. I'm getting 37.6 volts on IA and IB with new batteries. I have -.6 volts on A6 and -1 volts on B6, and 136mV on A5 and 65mV on B5. It sounds, ad you can imagine, terrible -- weak and distorted. I have triple checked my work including the polarity of the diodes and tramsistors, checked all the solder the joints -- even that really tough one at T3, and I can't find any mistakes. It was a very simple assembly process, or so I thought.
I would appreciates some suggestions on where to go from here.
BTW there is an error in the manual on page 15 where it says to locate and remove the 4.02K Ohm resistors from pin 7 of each tube socket. It should read pin 6 of each tube socket.
