Fender 85 Issues - No sound sort of...UPDATE - No Power

As I am a noob, I want to be sure I'm testing right.....do I put the black end of the multitester to the chassis ground and the red on the metal part?

To add to the great advice just given by Phatt and to answer your question...

Yes you would attach black lead of the meter to the chassis ground and then probe the red secondary connection points. There is the Red w/ Yellow stripe on the secondary and that is what we call the center tap. With amp off do a test to check for continuity from the chassis ground to the center tap connection. Also check resistance from the center tap to each end of the red secondary terminals.

Not saying all this as directive for response in trying to figure anything specific out. Actually just putting it out there so you can spend extra time learning it a bit, as those are thing I did that helped me understand it better too.
