Re: (ET) E12M won't go + ghost voltage?

["David Roden" <etpost drmm net>]

I can't help with the troubleshooting as I've had an electronic controller 
in my E15 for many years, and have forgotten all the details of the 
toaster 
controller.  

However, I recommend finding a good old analog meter for measuring 
voltage. 
DMMs are high impedance - IMO too high for this kind of work - and will 
tell you things that you shouldn't believe.

Or you might put a resistor across the leads of your DMM while 
troubleshooting at 36 volts.  Off the top of my head, maybe something in 
the range of 10k 1/4 Watt would work.  The real EEs here might have more 
suggestions.  I'm just an electronics hacker (in the older non-criminal 
sense).
