I bought the same model you told me about, the Cen-Tech P37772 with about 30 functions on it, I believe.

I took these measurements just now with the Admiral turned off but plugged in.

24.5v AC from the Admiral's chassis to ground ( ? )
1.5v AC on terminal that corresponds to my plug's small end where my line filter cap is installed ( see the photo above )
119v AC on the other terminal, which corresponds to my plug's larger end

Edit: I checked some other voltages later with the set turned off, and the primary winding of my transformer is putting out exactly 120v. But, I checked my heater pins and they're showing 7.9v AC. Isn't this a bit high for the heater voltage? Is that what's driving my B+ through the roof?
