R97 is 100 ohms
When voltage across R98 is 5VDC then R97 is 0VDC and the voltage across R41 is 7.4VDC

Quote from: markorock37 on Today at 12:59:57 AMIs it possible the new ones dont have the same pinout as the originals?
Yes it is possible.  Measure resistance from D4 cathode to T5.  One of the T5 pins should read zero ohms to D4 cathode.  Which pin is it, pin 1,2, or 3?
Which T5 pin reads short to R42?

Can you verifiy that R97 is still 100 ohms?
Also measure voltage across R98 when you have the 5V across R97.
And also voltage across R41.

Thanks g1 and saturated. When the VARIAC is at about 28-30VAC there is 5VDC across R97, and -1VDC at the output. Current draw is still negligible.

Actually looks like both have CBE pinouts
So T3
c -40.1v
b -40.6v
e -40.6v

T5
c 31.4v
b 39.0v
e 0.6v

Is it possible the new ones dont have the same pinout as the originals?

Man Joe is getting some really tempting reverb ads on here...must resist  :'(  :P

Anyhow I found that if you are playing a song off YouTube on your phone like trying to learn it while you play...if you hold it up to your pickups it will play through your amp

:P  :-[  :-[  8)

The fret rest is awesome.  I always knew about them but told myself why do I need one I keep my guitars in cases.

So I bought one used local and it has been a lifesaver

You cannot view this attachment.

Yes i do love it so handy when setting up... plugging in..or if you need to set it down for a moment

You cannot view this attachment.

I missed out all these years not having one  :'(

Yes sir Im not sure what V offset is  :'( but I think they meant compare the two voltages rather than just measure across A and B and turn the pot until it's zero.

At one time I was taking pics of the exercises in the textbook but got kinda wigged out about copyright issues.   :P
