68.147.217.152
Just completed the EP from scratch (not upgraded FP) and after double checking everything I have some differing resistance values to the EF CD values. I don't want to power up unless these are considered "acceptable", please can someone offer any insight.
Valves in, now power ever applied.
Terminals 12 and 21 are at 40K Ohms vs manual @ 83K
Terminal 32 at 54K Ohm vs manual @ 150K
Terminal 31 at 1.1M Ohm vs manual at Infinity
Termina1 15 at 9M Ohm vs manual at Infinity
Terminals 6&7 on the power transformer @ 740 K Ohm vs Infinity in manual
Terminals 9&10 at 15M Ohm vs infinityAll other measurements align with the values in the manual
Any help would be appreciated before I power up and destroy something

"Terminals 12 and 21 are at 40K Ohms vs manual @ 83K"
Terminal 12 doesn't worry me much, nor does 21. I think your meter is just picking up the capacitors across these terminals. This would also explain terminal 32 reading differently. If you get a reading of something under 10,000 ohms, then I would be worried.
"Terminal 32 at 54K Ohm vs manual @ 150K"
See above.
"Terminal 31 at 1.1M Ohm vs manual at Infinity
Termina1 15 at 9M Ohm vs manual at Infinity

Terminals 9&10 at 15M Ohm vs infinity"
Your meter goes way, way up. These are essentially infinity.
Fire it up and let us know!
