Hi All,

Tonight I finally finished the metalwork and the final connections.  After checking my work, with trepidation, I plugged it it.  Then I flipped the power switch - nothing ..... Power off.  Checked power plug and found that the fit was tight and it was not in completely - plugged it in all the way and flipped switch - Red LED, then Green LED, then glowing tubes!  Woo Hoo!

Since it is now getting late, I will do the voltage tests tomorrow, but I am pleased to say that so far so good - somehow I managed to get this far.

So, hopefully, my last question.  In the manual, for testing Jim has outlined that the voltages to be checked are on the board.  So before I test, these are DC voltages and I am measuring from the marked point with respect to ground (meter black lead to chassis, Red to marked point on PCB) - correct?

So tomorrow, I need to get my Cinemag SUT up and running and then I will do the voltage testing.  Hopefully, I am then good to go.

Thanks again Jim for such a great project - your board and guide have made this far easier than it would otherwise be.

The voltages marked on the board are dc.  Relative to chassis ground.
