If all measurements are correct you have a successfully built amplifier and you are ready to play some music. Well 
done and enjoy your Glasshouse amp. If you have experienced any problems please contact Hi-Fi Collective, we are 
here to help you.

with all testing done you can now fit the extension rod into the selector. Due to the close 
proximity of the rod to PSU3, measure 3cm up from one end of the rod. Starting here wrap 
at least 3 layers of electrical tape going up 6cm. 
Fit the couplier onto the shaft of the selector and with a flat head screw driver fix the 
couplier to the selector shaft. Fit the rod through the hole in the front panel and fix to the 
other half of the couplier.

 flat head screw driver

the following tests require the valves to be fitted, speakers/dummy loads to be attached and no signal input.
You will be measuring all under load test points. All test points as a rule will, at first, measure higher than the stated 
voltages, but as the valve heaters warm up and the valve begins to conduct, the voltage will fall. The exception being 
denoted by **, where the voltage will rise from 0Vs to the intended voltage.
