I found it, I edit last post, 300+v on both ends r120. It is mounted on bottom side of board.

Ok, I saw your edit. Approx. supply voltages:
B+1 330V
B+2 308V
B+3 225V
B+4 190V
B+5 175V
Now back to the phase splitter and check each end to ground, R67 & R70.Originally posted by EnzoI have a sign in my shop that says, "Never think up reasons not to check something."

Sorry if I was not clear, I meant DC volts.
And a caution, be sure to dig your probes in, there have been a few readings where you have changed from wrong to correct (missing +27V supply, R120 voltage reading 300V each side) which was probably due to poor contact of the probes.Originally posted by EnzoI have a sign in my shop that says, "Never think up reasons not to check something."

2 things are standing out right now. One is that the phase splitter is hardly running.
The other thing is that all the B+ voltages seem low.
1) Measure AC volts from each side of R120 to ground.
2) Check resistance of R107 and R109 in power supply area (22ohm 5watt).Originally posted by EnzoI have a sign in my shop that says, "Never think up reasons not to check something."

Which tube are you measuring?
I thought we where trying to figure out why the phase inverter voltages are off.Originally posted by EnzoI have a sign in my shop that says, "Never think up reasons not to check something."

Well, I may have been wrong expecting higher B+. Those AC readings do seem high, but some meters have a hard time reading AC on large DC, and I don't know that large ripple on the B+ would stop the phase splitter from running.
As I don't think you've tried any tube swaps yet, try swapping the phase splitter with one of the other 12AX7's and re-check the voltages at R67 and R70, same as in post #52.Originally posted by EnzoI have a sign in my shop that says, "Never think up reasons not to check something."
