Hello,
I am a first time amp builder working on my Tweed kit.
I have wired up the heaters, power transformer, fuse holder, stand-by switch and the pilot light socket. The instructions say it is now a good time to check that the power transformer is working properly. It says to install the fuse and carefully apply power to the circuit (i have built a current limiting light bulb) and check the AC voltages are within range of spec.
I have not had a lot of experience using my multi meter, mostly I have checked my resistors. I have watched some videos on setting up my multi meter to measure AC but I am not sure how to proceed measuring on my amp (where specifically should I be placing my leads when doing the measuring). Also the instructions say the voltages will be higher with no tubes installed, how much higher is acceptable?
I have attached some pictures of what I have wired up so far.
Any advice/directions would be appreciated.
Cheers
Stephen
