Hello again! I've just finished wiring up all the leads to/from the power transformer, mains, rectifier and the heater wiring. I'm at the point where the manual suggests plugging in and taking voltage measurements in order to verify against expected voltages (before any tubes, or even the board is connected). I clipped the black lead of my meter to the chassis and measured all voltages in AC. They are slightly off... is this to be expected?
Measured directly at the mains input, I am getting a solid 119v from the wall.
Wires from PT:
Red to Rect pin1 - Expected: 290v Measured: 316.8v
Red to Rect pin7 - Expected: 290v Measured: 316.8
White to Rect pin5 - Expected: 6.3v Measured: 3.59v
Yellow to Rect pin 4 - Expected: 0v Measured: .33v
Green to heaters - Expected: 3.15v Measured: 3.53v
Green to heaters - Expected: 3.15v Measured 3.53v
The red wires don't seem to be off by much (then again, I don't know how much is too much), but the white wire to pin 5 of the rectifier has me worried. Am I performing the measurements correctly?
I have attached some photos just in case they are useful:
