I tend to agree with your feeling that the voltages are high because no current is being drawn.
?
Here are the measurements you requested. These were done with the original 6CX8 and 6DE7. I also repeated the measurements with?
2 new 6CX8's and 2 new 6DE7...all measurements were within 1 volt of each other. I checked all the grounds on V1 and did notice that C7, a .01?
had the ground attached but not soldered, I resoldered it...no joy.
?
V1 Pin 6? Keyed = 14 vdc,? Unkeyed = 40 vdc
V1 Pin 3 at L1-C8 junction? Keyed = 107 vdc,? Unkeyed = 125 vdc?
?
As I said both neons flash turning function switch but front panel neon does not light during cw.
?
I also noticed the 6DE7 acts a series regulator..replaced it also...no change.
?
Another voltage that is way off is V1 Pin 8 should be around 210 vdc, I have full B+ at Pin 8 >585 vdc.?
R3 measures 22k and R7 measures 2500 ohms but gets very hot. Also the seondary of the transformer should be around 195 vac, I have 225 vac. My line voltage is usually around 123 vac.
?
I appreciate your help, this is almost driving me to go back to work...it was easier.

Thanks,
