Resistance check slightly off [resolved]

[Mister Slippery]

Hi, I just did the resistance check following my kit build and had two readings slightly off recommended numbers.

The first - terminal 13. My reader actually counted backward from 2000, and landed eventually on 267k. The recommendation was to climb up to 270k. Is 267 close enough? I left it on the terminal for two minutes at 267k, maybe if i waited 1/2-hour, I could have got to 266, but my hand was getting shaky.

The second - The right RCA jack was at 93.1, which is in range. However, the left was at 101.4, with the upper recommended number being 100 even.

Are either of these a problem? I've seen another post saying within 15% was fine, but I thought I should check. Thanks, Josh Anderson

Which kit do you have?

If we assume that it's a Crack, there's an "*" on terminal 13, and the note in italics on page 37 in the manual will answer your question. 

On the RCA jacks, the 100K pot is 100K +/-15% or so generally, so your reading there is OK.

It's a Crack kit, my apologies.

I read the asterisk just now, so I see it fluctuates. I had it on one setting on my meter and it slowly climbed but peaked at 200, then went blank. I moved it up a setting and it slowly climbed down from 2000 to a landing spot of 267. Neither time did it really "fluctuate" or "wander". It was a smooth and continuous change. I assume the language of varying from ohmeter to ohmeter means I'm okay with what I'm seeing, correct?

Thanks, Josh Anderson

Yes, you're ready to move on to the voltage checks.

Great, thank you very much!
