Okay so here's a total noobstorm:
I got this chinese douk-audio EL34 SE amplifier and I realize today that either something is off with the OT wiring
- or I am going crazy...
This is how it's supposed to look like:
I measure 363ohms accross the entire primary and 145ohm from the screen tap to the B+. However the plate was attached to to the black wire which is supposed to be the screen and the G2(screen) was attached to the yellow wire which is supposed to be vice versa.
The UL tap is supposed to be closer to the B+ and measure less impedance right ? I mean how the hell did this even work...!?
By the way, since the UL tap is closer to the B+ doesn't this mean that G2 has higher idling voltage than the plate ?? This is so confusing to me since in triode mode it's the opposite. Right ? Am I missing someting ?? Sorry and thanks!
