Ok, I've finally got to testing the voltage on the left channel amp. A few readings are out by more than I am comfortable with so I'm posting here to see if I'm good to go. See my previous post for resistance readings.

T5 reads 186.5VDC, manual reads 217VDC
A1 reads 184.5VDC, manual reads *
A3 reads 163.4VDC, manual reads 217VDC
A4 reads 165.7VDC, manual reads *

Ready for tunes?

Uhhh ... no.

Are you SURE the 2A3 tube socket - and the tube - are correctly oriented?

I assume the tube does not glow ...
