K3 initial resistance check on PPs at 1.9K ohm.

[Richard-3]

I have a low resistance on the power poles for my first resistance check
and R36, but U12 and U13 are OK.  I disassembled the sides and front
panel, checked for missed masking tape or other issues,reassembled
everything, and have repeatable low results. I verified resistance
measurements by checking known resisters.

Low    12VDC PP connectors.  Required: >3K ohms   Measured: 1.85K ohms
Low    R36 and ground.  Required: >150 ohms,   measured: 100 ohms
OK    U12 and ground.  Required: >500 ohms,   measured: 1.85K ohms
OK    U13 and ground.  Required: >150 ohms,   measured: 2.50K ohms

I think this is telling me I have

I started with a multi-range DMM, but discovered an intermittent probe
and had to use a single range (x1K ohm scale) analog meter.  Will try to
get a replacement tomorrow.

Any suggestions for possible causes will be appreciated.  This is my
third kit (Rock-Mite, K1 and now a K3).

Thanks
