Resistance check failure

Just finished my Stereomour II build. Tried to do a resistance check, but I am getting no readings at all anywhere. Where do I go from here?
Obviously, I’m a new customer.
 
After rechecking I am getting some results.
Terminal 4 : 144
6 : 1.19
15 : 0
17 : 0
21 : 1.36
22 : 1.98
24 : 1.64
25 : 1.55

That’s as for as I’ve gotten so far
 
The Klein is a pretty annoying meter to use for this kind of work. It's really made for residential electrical work. This works a bit better and costs less.

If terminal 6 is 1.19M Ohm, that's a problem. If it's 1.19 Ohms, that's not a problem.

15 shouldn't be zero, definitely don't turn this amp on and post some build photos ASAP.
 
Spent today going over every solder. Did a lot of re soldering. At the end of the day the resistance numbers I got are all well within your 10-15% acceptable range. I also agree the Klein is not the best for this.
Thanks for your help.
FYI, terminal 6 is 1.1 Ohm today
 
All resistance and voltage checks came out perfect. Put in the tubes and tried it out. Sounded fantastic, but none of the tubes glow. Re soldered the connection on the EIC, but still no glowing. Although it seems to be working well, I don’t want to damage anything, so I shut it down. I’ve attached some pics of the build. Hopefully you can give me some direction.IMG_2542.jpegIMG_2543.jpegIMG_2544.jpegIMG_2545.jpegIMG_2546.jpegIMG_2547.jpegIMG_2548.jpegIMG_2549.jpeg

If the voltages are good and the sound is good, the tubes have to be glowing. They don't glow super brightly, so you may need a dark room to be able to see that they are glowing properly.
