I’m going to ignore the you don’t know what your doing msgs, I do know the basics and normally there are simple errors I make.
Well, if you really knew the basics (AND applied / used them), you might not be needing to ask for help here? Or rather, "actions speak louder than words" - if you really knew what you were doing, you "shouldn't" need our help with something this trivial, surely..? Once again, not trying to be mean or anything (despite your occasional attitude), just pointing out the disconnect between your claims and actions, that's all.
Well that right there is a contradiction of logic. Either you have the tube heater connected (ie. the circuit is loaded), or you don't (unloaded). So which is it?
On H+ after diodes I am getting 16v
After R1(3.8R) I’m getting 15v
Next 3.8R = ? Need to measure
Next 3.8R = 2.5v
How certain are you that none of the capacitors are shot?
1V dropped across 3.75R works out to 266mA or so - so far, so good.
13.5V dropped across 3x 3.75R in series works out to 1.2A (1200mA). So some capacitor's internally shorted, you've stuffed up some wiring somewhere, or the cables you're using (if any) are busted, or any combination of these. Or, for all we know, even some probing error somewhere...
A voltage reading between that second and third series resistor would be revealing, perhaps.
