New to Forum- 47-1230 is my 1st Restoration
#25

I got the transformer all installed properly and it appears to be working ok now. I did find one wiring issue in my job of recapping where I put the C103 negative to ground instead of the opposite end of R100 resistor. Once I corrected this and installed a new C103 I now have power that I didn't have previously, only now I have too much voltage. Terry I measured from pin 4 & pin 6 with the 5Y3 removed and I got 333 volts on each. My problem is that when I start troubleshooting section one and step 1 & 2 I have way too much voltage, over 600 volts with each of the three tests. This is with all tubes in place and the radio set up as indicated in that section. Before finding my issue with C103 I had basically only about 6 volts in these tests.
R100 tests good, L100 tests good and I haven't yet tested T200. Anything else I need to be looking at? I have the High voltage green bias wire hooked to the R100 end with the negative of the C103. I'm not sure what I am missing here to have such high voltages. Any help is appreciated.
