Cool thanks. No .1 600v cap then. Just straight to ground it is. also, I'll check the resistance, and ground it if it's a hum shield (infinite resistance to to all of the secondaries. If not I'll post what I find. 


Check the resistance to the primary as well, just to be sure.

OK Here's the results....
I check resistance across the seconadries...
Orange to B+ CT - 1.3M Ohms
Orange Across Blue/Red (Bias) - 1.65M Ohms
Oraange across the rest of the wires was Infinite resitance (or OL). This would mean that the Orange is a hum elimainating Ground, or Cage Ground.

I also measured VAc (without a recitier tube in place. Or any other tube in place for that matter.Here's the results...

Orange to ground 72VAC
Bias to Ground 64VAC
B+ CT to grund 38 VAC
on rect socket to ground
pin 6 180VAC
pin 4 251VAC
pin 2 17VAC
pin 8 21 VAC

Also between the green wires (filiment tap) 7.1VAC
Greens to Ground - 15VAC.

Are these close to what I should be getting? I haven't measured acroos the hi and low Voltage pins on the rect socket. I'm a little nervous about roasting another PT.Thanks in Advance.


Why is the HV- CT (red/yellow) to ground 38VAC? It should be 0 if you're not using a zener.

Pins 4 and 6 seem low; I would expect something like 300-0-300 (where 0 is the HV-CT). Try grounding the HT-CT and report back. Without the CT grounded, the HV legs will float and any readings to ground are meaningless.

That's what I was thinking. Thanks. Will do. I'll gorund the HV CT, and take the readings again. Then report back. Thanks.
