Especially the PLATE VOLTAGE meter it must measure 2400 to 3000 and decay to zero with the AC line power switched off.? Do NOT touch anything if it doesn¡¯t work this way!

One more thing ¨C when you get to the part when you want to remove a tube be sure the plate cap off the tube you removed doesn¡¯t touch the chassis and completely UNPLUG the AC power cord before opening it up.
