Resistance and power issues. [resolved]

It wouldn't hurt to reheat the solder joints on that board. I can see some that haven't been allowed to flow out. Also double check that both blue trim pots have their leads folded over and soldered together as directed in the manual. I can see that one is correct, but a black jumper wire covers the other.

I have double and triple checked the pots. They indeed are folded over and I verified with an Ohm meter. I do know some look suspect but under a loop, they really appear to be fine. No harm in trying. I have new regulators due tomorrow. Before, I replace anything I will triple check as now is the time to do so.
 
Which regulators are you intending to replace?
The M431. I used a regulator with a .5% accuracy. None the less, after I replaced the one regulator, there was no correction in the voltage readings. Since we narrowed the problem down to the regulator board, the only thing really left was the N2222A transistor for the side that had the issues. I had already verified that the pot was fine. I stuffed a new transistor into the board and -- 𝕕𝕣𝕦𝕞 𝕣𝕠𝕝𝕝. It works! All resistance and voltage checks are spot on. All leds light up as they should. After I finished all of my measurements, I adjusted both pots with no problem at all. From what I can see, 𝐈 𝐀𝐌 𝐆𝐎𝐎𝐃 𝐓𝐎 𝐆𝐎! If I have any further issues I will not hesitate to contact the forum. Paul, as stated, this is my 4th kit and you walked me through two of them where I had issues. As it stands right now, I have the EROS 1 and EROS 2, the Bepree (Original) and now the Mainline.

I'm glad you got it sorted. That board is a little odd in that it holds both two high voltage shunt regulators (the 431 sections) and two sections to set the bias for the 6C45P.
