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

[tb <tbamc gbta net>]

Think I’ve finally tracked it down:  Found a broken resistor strap—right 
at the negative end/bolt.  

Am going to try putting a strip of brass under the bolt, extending out an 
inch or so over the strap, similar to what others have done.

Wonder if the strap ends proximity to each other contributed to the weird 
voltages?
