[Amps] Getting Filament Voltage on an AL-82

[Bill Turner]

I would install a pair of banana jacks on the back panel and run small 
gauge wires to the filaments.  Bypass both jacks to ground and put a 
bifilar RF choke in series with the wires.  That way you have easy 
access to measure the filament voltage any time you like.

Hello,

And thank you ahead of time for your comments.  Does anyone have a 
reliable
way of measuring the filament voltage to the ceramic plate on an Al-82?
With the recessed plates I have had a dickens of a time trying to get
something that would be physically doable without shorting out anything.

Thank you,

Craig, WW5E
