How to bias a tube amp with a Multimeter


I’ve had this Shuguang s8mk integrated sitting in storage for 6 years. I bought a multimeter to bias it. The meter is set up to mV. 
 

I’m getting zero read results. The amp has been warmed up for 90 minutes. 
 

It’s got a funky bias panel. 
 

What am I doing wrong?

You do have speakers connected right? if not get them connected tube amps do not like to be on with no spekaers/load connected, could damage the amp. 

 

from the picture i'd say your positive lead on the right or far left test piont, depending on what tube your testing, and the ground to the center. check what range your meter is set to as well you could be out of range.
