I did an initial power up to make sure I had the power transformer connected properly, and to be sure it was labeled correctly. I didn't want to get everything together to find the 600v was across a filament or something like that. Also to make sure voltage was passing through the choke and output transformers. I did an AC test with all the tubes out, brought up on the variac slowly. I checked the B+, and all of the filament voltages and connections. Next, I plugged in the 5Z4 to check for raw B+. Finally, I plugged in all of the tubes. I have one meter on the B+ coming from the choke, one on the plate of a 6L6, and one on the filament of a 6SN7.
So far, things look good
