BeePre Resistances off

[the_bartguy]

Hi,with a lot of home time on my hands lately, I finally got around to building my BeePre Limited Edition kit. Everything seemed to go smoothly, but I have several strange resistance readings, even after I went back through the manual to recheck my wiring on all the boards. Full disclosure, I built with the Bee Quiet from the get-go and substituted Obbligato gold caps for both the .22 caps (mine are .22 630v) and the 10uf caps (Mine are 15uf, 250v). I don't want to go on to the voltage checks until I resolve these. Happy to send pictures, but I'm not sure what details you'd want to see yet.

Terminals 10 & 15: Resistance check says they should start low and rise to 20k+. Mine are starting at approx. 17M and getting steadily lower.

27, 32, 39: Should be 0, both of mine read approx 1.8k.

43 & 46: Should be greater than  100k, Mine are starting around 5.5M and dropping when I read them.

Any ideas where I screwed up? Thanks.

27, 32, 39: Should be 0, both of mine read approx 1.8k.

I would tighten the transformer screws a bit.  If these don't go all the way to zero, it's not necessarily the end of the world.

43 & 46: Should be greater than  100k, Mine are starting around 5.5M and dropping when I read them.

5,500,000 is more than 100,000.  Do they drop to 0?

Thanks for responding, Paul.

27, 32, 39: I tightened the transformer screws as directed and they're all reading .3, so all good.

43 & 46: They drop down to .5M, then my meter reads OL and it resets back up 20M.

You didn't comment on Terminals 10 & 15 going lower instead of higher. Anything to worry about there?

Thanks.

I think you can proceed to your voltage checks.
