Default Re: AVO CT 160 GAS test

Pete, Its imperative that you use "Search" & see the multitude of helpful advice going back years. Yep, some of us AVO VCM/CT160 enthusiasts could give you detailed info & advice, but we'd be merely repeating what has been said many times.
Study all the "banging-on" from past posts - particularly those in the recent few days for "HPWOODY"'s CT160 thread posts. Then hopefully you'll avoid something like his unfortunate outcome - phooked -ve Grid Volts Pot.
Not only are CT160's helluva expensive to buy, they are helluva expensive to repair - - the 30uA Meter, RV2 3 segment 10K Pot, & the single big mains transformer are the most expensive at anything in the region of 200 quid each for a genuine AVO replacement.
If you feel in any way uncomfortable with delving into your CT160 - try & find a helpful CT160 owner nearby to mentor you.
A valve flashing blue & the relay buzzing like hell does not bode well.
Regards, David
