Power supply test off slightly [resolved]

[dyrstr8s]

Just conducted the power supply test, page 72 of the manual.
The 6.3 v pads read 4.25 v.
The B++1, B+1, B++2, and B+2 all read 488 v. I assume this is ok, just looking for confirmation.
Thanks!

OK, just saw another topic where the user was measuring 493 v, so looks like I'm good!

I'd wait for the BH staff to comment. But 4.25v on what I'm guessing is a 6.3v heater line is too low.

That all looks OK. The ~4V readings are either side of the unloaded 6.3V supply, which has a resistive center tap, so its' +/-4.25V, which drops to more like +/-3V when loaded.
