Step 9: Plug the AC cord into the wall socket. Make sure the standby switch is in the “standby” position. Turn the
mains switch on. The tubes should start to warm up and glow. Hopefully you know that vacuum tubes get very
hot once they are warmed up. You must allow adequate time to pass for them to cool off before you attempt to
touch them. If you measure the voltage at the red terminal of the first 32uFx32uF electrolytic capacitor, you
should read approximately 490VDC. To test the rectified DC voltage, first set your meter to test DC voltage 500V
or greater. Then connect the black probe to chassis ground. Then touch the red probe to the various test points
Step 10: Turn the standby toggle switch to the on position. You should read 480VDC at position B (red terminal
of the second 32uFx32uF capacitor), 355VDC at position C (yellow terminal of the second 32uFx32uF electrolytic
capacitor), 305VDC at position D (the right positive lead of the 32uFx32uF electrolytic capacitor on the circuit
board), and 280VDC at position E (the left positive lead of the 32uFx32uF electrolytic capacitor on the circuit
board). These are approximate voltages and the circuit isn’t actually under full load yet, so don’t be alarmed if
your actual readings are +/- 20V.
Step 11: Unplug the AC power cord from the wall and turn the toggle switches to their off positions.
Step 12
: VERY IMPORTANT BEFORE YOU ADD THE EL34 TUBES!!!
Be sure to plug a speaker into the
speaker jack. You should never turn your amp on when the power tube is installed without the proper speaker
load. Doing so will damage your output transformer. Plug a speaker into the speaker jack. Make sure the
impedance rotary switch is set to the correct impedance for the speaker you are using. The speaker should be able
to handle 30watts.
Step 13: Install the EL34 tubes into their sockets. Plug the AC power cord into the wall. Turn the mains toggle
switch on. You should see the EL34s begin to heat up and glow.
