Thank you! Yes, I've been reading as many sources as I can get my hands on. So far, the Navy's 1946 "Introduction to Radio Equipment" has delivered the most a-ha! moments. The whole experience is indeed very rewarding. Addictive, even.

Ok, found the connections. For the two white ones (one of which shares a joint with one power cord black), the meter jumps all over the place. But when it settles, it reads 0.4, which I guess = 4 on my meter's lowest possible setting of 200. That's good, right? For the two yellows on pins 4 and 6 of the rectifier, I'm getting 185.

I appreciate the guidance!
