I am only getting 0.152v ac on the output when engaged. I believe the transformer is oriented correctly and solder joints appear clean. I am getting 0.14v ac @ U2 pin 4 and U2 has power. I hear the relay click when taking out of bypass. I also tried cleaning the tube pins. Please advise, Thank you
+15.6 v
-15.56v
B+ 45v
tube heater 6.15v and glowing

Remove U4.
What values (DC and AC) do you get on TP1 to TP4 in the initial conditions here.

I reheated all solder joints and rechecked for bridging or shorts, no change
Thanks,
Ben
