Tweed Deluxe 5E3 build kit.
So I've got everything all wired as per Tube Depot's 5E3 build kit specs. My problem is when I get to checking voltage on the C12 (B+) for the rectifier tube I'm getting considerably more voltage then what is suggested. Recommendation from the build specs is +460V +/- 10v. I'm reading a steady 521V. Now granted, I purchased the actual Tweed Deluxe Power transformer from Magnetic Inc. (710V) instead of the Blackface Deluxe reverb Power transformer (660V) that comes with the kit.
Question is: Is the higher reading than normal strictly because of the difference in the power transformers? And will this harm my amp/tubes in anyway?
