Hi Terry!
Okay with tubes I know that are good, I took measurements of all 15 tubes pins, the interstage transformer pins, neutral and hot of the AC line cord, filter caps (141 & 142), electro caps (140 and 140a and 80a and 80b) choke 136 and choke 138 and the resistor junction of 134 and 135. here goes.
-- where the line cord enters the chassis I got 110 vac across the hot and neutral.
-- across the power transformer primaries I have 107 vac
-- for the power filter caps 141 and 142 I get 333 vdc positive to negative (should be 385) and I get 281 vdc positive to ground.
-- for electro caps 140a where the positive goes to ground and the negative to the negative of the filter caps, i have -48 vdc (should be -50 vdc I think)
-- for 140 I have 270 vdc
-- for electro cap 80: I have 256 vdc, 80a: 236 vdc, 80b: 85 vdc
-- for choke 136 I have 283 vdc for the pin closest to the front and 270 vdc for the lower one.
-- for choke 138 I have 236 vdc for the black wire and 245 vdc for the white wire
-- at the junctions of resistors 134 and 135 I have -21 vdc
for the interstage transformer I have: pins 1 through 4: -20 vdc pin 5: 236 vdc pin 6: 231 vdc
I f I do not list a pin it read zero. My largest discrepancies are on my oscillator (6A8G) and oscillator control (6N7G) tubes.
