a warning

I realized during the night that I had forgotten to warn you that the 560 uf caps develop a 25 to 30 volt charge that is not dissipated. I have placed a 1 meg resistor across the terminals which I presume will not harm operation of the AC unit but will be safer.

From what I understand, the most accurate way to measure the voltage is with a scope. I suspect your Fluke will be more accurate than either of my DMMs, but my two DMMs (EdTech EX205T and Harbor Freight $24 model) each measure close to each other. GK-71 tubes are cheap.

I am currently rebuilding my amp for the third time and hope to have it back in action later today or tomorrow.
