I have a Ceriatone 50 watt Overtone Special. I wrote in an earlier thread I don't thinks it's very loud. I want to measure the Pin voltages on the tubes to see if it's close to the Ceriatone layout.
V1 Pin 1 191 Pin 3 1.7 Pin 6 200 Pin 8 1.6
V2 Pin 1 200 Pin 3 1.7 Pin 6 201 Pin 8 1.7
V3 Pin 1 298 Pin 3 1.7 Pin 6 289 Pin 8 1.7
V4 Pin 3 442 Pin 4 441 Pin 5 42 Pin 6 443 Pin 8 37mV
V5 same as above. These are all using JJ tubes. I have the bias set to
the correct mV's but don't know how to check the other voltages.
Can In use my VOM meter? Do i put the positive probe on the corresponding pin? Where do I put the negative probe? Is the chassis ground?
I've worked around voltages before so I'll be very careful.
Appreciate your help.
can I measure pin voltages with a VoltOhm meter

Re: can I measure pin voltages with a VoltOhm meter
Set your VOM to DC Volts. Negative probe to chassis ground. I find it safer to measure voltages at the board rather than at the pins.
