Title: is this a short circuit?
Post by: GuitarHack on May 18, 2011, 12:26:09 AM
Hi guys,

Going thru some of my (OTS) connections with a meter.
Measuring at the terminal strip where the Pilot Light and Heaters connect, there's less that 1 ohm resistance between terminals, and less that 1 ohm between either 3.15V terminal and the 3.15V ground wire.

Doesn't seem right, except that the pilot light (I'm guessing) creates the continuity between the 3.15V terminals.
But it doesn't seem right to be shorted (actually 0.3 ohms) to ground.

Is something wrong, or is this as it should be??
Thanx

I got same reading with PT connected!
disconnect PT heater wiring and then meter!
I cant remember if the pilot light was connected or not.
It should be open ckt >1Megohm with only the heaters wired.
