A few resistance check questions

Hi all,

All of my resistance checks are good except for these:

B3/B6 ready 3.6 rather than 2.9.

7/9 read 2.9... should I be worried about that much deviation?

Also I get a 3m reading from 22. Which worries me, because 22 isn't connected to anything...

Thank you all!
 
Hmm, I really don't understand the reading at 22. It isn't connected to anything, other than the bolt that secures the PT-10. Does that signal an issue there?
 
The bolts on the PT-10 all need to be tight for 22 to come down.

If you wiggle the black wires at the headphone jack, are they both well captured by solder?
 
Black wires by headphone jack are well secured. Should I try tightening the pt-10 bolts? I'll see if they have any play.
 
They aren't tight enough if all those terminals with a bolt passing through don't show 0 ohms.

B3 and B6 wire to 7 and 9, so those resistances shouldn't be different.  It's unlikely for both of those wires to be loose which is why I asked about the black wires at the headphone jack, as that's a common solder joint that doesn't get enough attention, and it could cause a deviation at both terminals. 
 
22 is good now, thanks!

I'm getting 2.9 at b3/b6/7/9 now as well.

Could tightening the bolts have done that? I also... changed the batteries in my multimeter from last night. (but I wasn't even getting a battery notice?!)

 
Tightening the bolts won't change B3/B6/7/9 but moving the amp around could jostle a loose solder joint.  It probably wouldn't hurt to give a little extra heat and solder to all the solder joints where a black wire lands (except for the center post of the 9 pin socket).
