Doc, I am so sorry it took me this long to finish!  It's important to get some buzz going about Tode.  Anyway, i have only one discrepant voltage: front chassis term 6 measures in at 33.4V instead of 0.  Wiring looks ok to me and all other voltages don't seem too bad: front 1 is 0, 2 is 31.9, 3&4 are 0, 5 is 32.7, 6 is 33.4 and 7 is 0.  Any concerns before i plug in?  Thanks, jeff

At the moment I am sitting at the dinner table, so I don't have access to the manuals. But if only one reading is off it could be that we either didn't allow for variation at that terminal, the meter is wacky, or who knows? Man, I would plug a geetar in and go for it!

We have been hammering on packing kits for the past few days. Once we get caught up (maybe tomorrow?) I will make a digital transfer from tape and post an audio file of my bro Art Khu playing the Bottlecaster thru a vintage Morley wah pedal into the Tode. It's very cool, in a sort of Jimi/Eddie Hazel-Maggot Brain sort of way.
