Maybe this doesn’t apply to a 8B?
That appears to be the case, based on my examination of the schematic that is provided in the service manual I referred to earlier. The meter in the 8B measures the bias current directly. The voltages you referred to for the other amps are presumably the voltages appearing across resistors which are conducting the bias current, those voltages therefore being proportional to the bias current. The 8B is different.
The only alternatives that occur to me, aside from my earlier suggestions, are to try to find a replacement for the meter, or to get the amp to a good tech.
Good luck. Regards,
