RE: Futterman OTL3 - R29 gets very hot

Hi Roger
I found the fault, poor soldering in a connection at one of the tubes.
What I'm struggling with right now is the voltage level across test point one and pin 11 (grid 2) on either V6, V7 & V8. According to the instruction I have there should be around 170 volt, adjusted by R16. I only get half ot it i.e 85 VDC, so think I need to look into the rectifying circuit.

Step learning curve but that's okay, I enjoy learning day by day.

Diagram attached, I have a corresponding version from whomever built it back in the 80'ties.

Regards
Thomas
