Hi All,
I am trying to determine if a new transformer I purchased from Edcor is faulty, as it's buzzing a lot. I am trying to measure the current draw on all the taps while the amp is in operation. At someone's suggestion here I was able to measure the HV Tap my measuring the voltage drop across the choke.
Is there anything similar I can do for two filament currents? Based on the schematic I am not quite sure where I could measure a voltage drop (or DC voltage through the meter).
Thanks!

Try rubber mounting or retorque mounting bolts. Not much help otherwise. Ours is a little buzzy also.
Thanks. Yeah I will probably have to end up doing that, but because it's new Edcor is willing to take a look at it if I ship it back. Only thing is shipping (I'm in Canada) is going to be like $60, and they will only re-reimburse me if they determine the transformer is faulty. So I just really want to make sure I haven't done something silly before sending it back. . .
