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.
