Standout review:
"Fail. I do not understand what is wrong with this meter, but it's been nothing but trouble. ..., some of the erratic readings were repeatable, producing the impression that there was a problem with the circuit, but when tested with a Fluke, the power was perfect."

I have had luck with real-low-price DMMs. This may not be a lucky one.

Makingnoise 88,

I greatly admire your tenacity and perseverance with this build!!  With that kind of dedication,  I  am confident you will get this amp up and running.  Keep it up!  Don't give up!  Be safe working on the amp and you'll get there. The reward will be worth it all.

You have some great forum guys helping you out! Some of the really knowledgeable and gifted individuals.  Sluckey has gotten me thru more bone headed mistakes than anybody on this forum, so your in good hands with these guys.

I am rooting for you and watching this thread!  Remember to post the success in your subject line when you get it all done  " Princeton Reverb blowing fuses - RESOLVED"

With respect, Tubenit

Ill look for a new MM!
But as for an update I got it working!
I was grounding my input to the TIP instead of the ground lug  :cussing:
But after getting that right its up and running!
Its a bit quieter than it should be but I need to bias is. So once thats done I'll check it all again.
I hooked up the reverb really quick but didn't seem to get anything out of it so i'll have to check that after work as well!
Guys thanks so much for all your help. I'll post an update after I bias and check out the reverb!
As always if you guys see anything or have any suggestions I have greatly appreciated it! The knowledge Ive gained and gaining is mind blowing! Thank you thank you thank you!
