"Adventure"? & an audience? Oh my.
Anyway, I think than that I essentially did have 1 probe on a center pin. Since the results of everything I did yesterday were so unsubstantial & inconclusive, I used the notes I took while I was making the checks to start my fire for the grill. Seriously. But I do believe that the center pin on both pots was the accessible one. As I typed previously (going back & looking at my post, because I no longer have my notes) my meter showed 0.6 (& that was with both pots backed out where they should be allowing no current). I can get back into it, though, & at the same time check tube socket wiring. The in circuit cap checker is on top of my list, & right now it's a pretty short list.
I emailed Cary on Thursday, & I'd love to hear back from them, but I am afraid that if I was holding my breath I would suffocate. I have a feeling they are going to advise me to send them the amp, but that means find the box & that thing weighs a ton. But it might come to that.
I wouldn't exactly call what I am getting from my spouse "help", but anyway, I appreciate your support. (& thank you for that link to the article about bias. I am going to get into that today.)
