Beltron 8080-a normal voltage issue

I’ve always heard great things about the 8080-A and got one.

However I’m trying to figure out what seems to be a big problem.

In the normal position, the heater voltage is reading 15 volts. I can make adjustments in the 12v color and 12v black and white setting.

I measured the actual voltage at the meter and it shows 14.8 volts so the units meter is working correctly. I thought perhaps the 160ohm resister was bad but it’s within 5% of its rating.

The caps are not leaking but I’ve not checked them yet.

Any thoughts as to what might be causing the voltage to be so high?

Thanks all.
