All those measurments were made with the tube in. AND yes the tube IS
bad, or at least NOW it is! Once I realized that(the tube was bad(now
the grid will not light up AT ALL)) I put in ANOTHER 45, ok so it
started up and worked fine. BUT about 3 or so minutes into operation
IT started to make poping sounds and sparking on the
inside!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11 SO I turned it off and took it out and put it
BACK in its box (the first 45 was a used 1940's RCA ST-14 type, all I
have left are two much older Cunningham 345 balloon type that are FAR
to expensive to even dream about buring up!!) The only thing I can
think is the cathode resistors are not working properly, maybe
getting too hot, maybe they need heatsinks???? I don't know. But that
is about all I can figure out! The resistance on them measures fine
UNTIL I put them in the circuit and run them for a few minutes. SO I
ordered some ceramic type 10 watters, once they get here I will
solder those in and try again!
