RCA 630TS Resistance Measurement

[Jonathan]

Guys,

I started work on my 630TS B+ to ground short. I completely removed the work I had done and began to rewire things convinced I had something wired wrong. From B+ to ground the resistance was 10 ohms. From B+ to -100V was also 10 ohms. I had -100 shorted to ground somehow. But here is my new problem. From the one side of the field coil it connects directly to B+ from the rectifier tube. At this B+ point, two 40uF capacitors in parallel is connected to it and -100V. Now with the new rewiring, I chose to use an 80uF so not as much space would be needed. The -100V point is the center tap of the B+ winding on the transformer. So I use this center tap connection to connect everything to the -100V point. Now for the problem.

The B+ has the 80uF capacitor on it to the center tap. The one end of the field coil is connected, but the other end is not. Nothing past the other end of the field coil is connected. What I need is the resistance measurement from the center tap of the B+ winding on the power transformer (which is also the -100V point) and B+. I measure 10 ohms and it doesn't seem right. Both ends of the B+ winding measure 18 ohms. Can someone tell me what the resistance should be from -100V to B+?

Thanks.
