Solved: Failing voltage check

I finished assembling Crackatwoa and resistance tests are passing, but Kreg A and Kreg B voltages are wrong. Swapping tubes does not change the readings. All leds are lighting up and tubes are glowing. Any ideas why that might be happening?

This can happen if you have the Kreg connections flipped around, though this is pretty rare on a Crack-a-two-a. The 160V at bRegB/Right OA is also a problem.

It would be a good idea to be sure all of the transistors are in the correct positions, and go over the jumpers on the center C4S board.
 
Ha! Found the wrong connection. C5 was wired to 16L instead of 6L. Rewired it and it fixed the voltages: KregA is 6.2V and KregB is 5.3V now. Right OA and bregB are correct too: 149V. Thanks for you help!
