hey, I was reading through the posts here, and it looks as though the voltages dealt with in biasing are fairly minimal...I'd like to try biasing my 212 onethirty myself, but up until just now Id been to afraid Id zap myself to death. Im ready to take a whack at it now having read this info, but is there anyhting I should watch out for? ie, accidentally putting the voltmeter on the wrong pin and frying something, etc? thanks in advance.

Hey Ivan-

I mean no disrespect with this-

These guys are both educated and experienced with electronics. I can't help but smile and appreciate your do-it-yourself initiative (probably in the interest of saving money), but out of respect for
Techs in every field, from audio to TV, IT and the area I'm in Sales in, diagnostic bio tech systems
(medical), I've made great friendships with guys like these and learned to respect their world.

Maybe you've got a qualified amp tech locally who wouldn't mind letting you hang out to watch what he does.

Me, I love to play, compose etc. But in the immortal words of 'ol Clint Eastwood, "A man's gotta know his limitations". Just my 2$.

You'll still be very close to some 400-700 volts Dangerous Current..
