No Gus, not there!
That would be the place to measure the mains voltage, and will blow up a meter set to measure current.
Connect one of the mains leads (say live) direct to the supply but connect the other to one lead of your meter. Connect the other meter lead to mains neutral.
Set meter to AC current, switch on, and take the reading.
I have just got my meter out... I will be back with the mag current for my set.

I'm back... it is 38.5mA with all valves and the dial lamp removed.
