So I just get done retubing my pj and turn it on. I push # and get a crosshatch, tubes look awesome (no lenses on yet, just happy they light up).
So I hook up the coby dvd to see how/if the source signal looks good. Well, it doesn't. Nope, not a thing.
So I tried the other source board (composite, eeewww!) and still nothing. I've rechecked all my connections on all the boards, thinking maybe I missed one. Nope, all there and hooked up right, as far as I can tell.
I figure it's gotta be something on the VOM, but what? Could I have plugged something in backwards and not know it? I took out and replaced the tubes one at a time and took photos so I could make sure I hooked each one up right. I didn't disconnect anything but the bare minimums from the VOM and took the rest off the neck boards when removing the tubes.
Any ideas on where to shove my fingers next? This is a lot bigger and a little more complex than my crystal radio kit from when I was a kid.
I'd appreciate anything you guys can give.
And Curt, thanks for the tip on the trimpot, picked one up, works great.
Thanks,
Gyv
