George & Sniff,
Thank you,
I did catch your suggestion on running a tap through the Pem nuts as I was finishing up on the boards,
and was quite surprised at the amount of metal shavings that it produced. I totally forgot to lube the threads, definitely my bad on that.
And drawing them down evenly just like torqueing down a head is an important part of the process as well.
I guess I was so concerned about the bring up procedure not having much electronics background that I whiffed on the mechanical aspect which should be one of my strengths.
Since I used a Dim bulb should the outputs still be good? I checked them on my meter with the diode function & hopefully that's how to test them they seemed to have comparable values .
I would be concerned to see material actually removed
"was quite surprised at the amount of metal shavings that it produced"
Are you sure you used the correct size tap ?
