Quote:I was going to check the voltages as you suggested and hooked it up to my dim bulb. It appears I have a short. The bulb stays bright. I realize this is basic for most of you but not for me.
I have thoroughly checked my soldering and looked for any bare wiring that may cause the short and can’t see any obvious issues.
I would like to check my power transformer. I should have tested it while I had it out but I only put on the heat shrink at the time. My mistake. Can I test it while connected in the chassis and if so what’s the procedure?
What readings, either voltages or ohms, should I expect to get to indicate that it’s the PT that’s shorted.

You can bypass the interstage transformer by disconnecting the primary, connect a load resistor of about 10k - 20k to th...RodB — 09:40 AM
