[TenTec] Plate Voltage reading on Centurion

[Roger]

I do not know about the Centurion but I have the Titan and the plate voltage has for the last 10 years read 3 to 400 volts low
but with full output.I checked it with a high voltage probe and a Fluke and the voltage is where it should be. I just don't worry about it reading low.
