Mike W did cover the use of a meter to measure the current in some detail...

For O/P or Driver current measuring:
Lift one end of the RF chokes that are wire links in ferrite tubes, judging from the photos. Tack 1nF ceramic there to a nearby earth with short leads. We don't want RF in the test meter! Twist test meter leads.

But you're right, we still don't know what exactly what the current should be anyway. As I said, arriving at your destination is usually more important than how you get there.
Wonder if the skip will be running today as well? Stuck at work, unfortunately, so I won't have much of a chance to find out.
