Please disregard my previous questions. I have figured out how to test voltage on these tubes. The finding is not great. The only tube that has any real voltage is one that is labeled 6X5G. It measures out at 451 volts only on the pin that one of the electrolytic capacitors is connected to. The largest voltage that I got off of any other tube was 1 volt, but I can see light in all of the tubes when it is powered on. I do measure voltage on the pins on the underside of the chassis correct? Any thoughts?
