How to safely bias Cayin A88T Tube amp


I know this amp has been the target of much talk on this subject, but does anyone have a step by step guide to biasing this fantastic amp? I realize there are some dangerous voltages in there, and to do the job, you have to take the back plate off and switch the amp on right? But, where do I take the readings from, once I'm in there?

I'm sure there was a post on here with pictures, but I can't find it for love nor money.

Kindest regards

The way to do it safely is to connect dummy load resistor to the speaker binding posts of your amp such as 10Ohms/50W available at partsexpress.com. Watch your multimeter not to go way over or under the tolerant bias voltages. Ask the manufacturer or use the bias manuals to do so. Giving it to someone else might be safe but it's just another way of giving out easy money for no work.
