Jadis Orchestra bias adjustment


Hello,

Sorry to rehash this as I know it was discussed a few months ago.

I have my Jadis Orchestra opened up and am trying to find which resistor to measure across to set the bias to the recommended 110mV. A picture would be cool but even the resister value would point me in the right direction. I am measuring across the 5.62 ohm resistor connected between the anode of the EL34 and the output transformer and measure 86mV but I don't think that's the correct place - although perhaps this is an acceptable alternative?

If you are knowledgeable regarding this operation I'd really appreciate some direction.

Thanks so much!

First, using a digital voltmeter, measure the voltage across the 5U62 resistor connected to the output transformer. Adjust the 22K ohm pot untill the meter reads between 95 and 120 mv. Using another digital voltmeter connected to each of the YELLOW wires (pin 3) of each of the output tubes on that side, and adjust the second 22k ohm pot until the reading is close to Omv. This adjustment may change the first reading, so adjust both pots until the readings are correct. Do the same for the other channel. The first 22k ohm pot is to the left of the output tubes. The second 22k ohm pot is between the output tubes. Good luck. HIGH VOLTAGES are present. PLEASE KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING BEFORE TRYING THIS.
