THE TV IS FIXED!!!!!!!!! I am ashamed to say it was the audio tube all along. I had bought a new tube for this (12C5) and as luck would have it, this new tube produced the exact same symptoms as the original. I used a 2nd tube tester for a second opinion of the three tubes I had, in my box of used tubes I had 1-12C5 that showed an excessive leakage but no shorts. This tube fixed the TV, so some new 12C5 tubes are on order. Thank you all for your help, and opinion's, you have kept me motivated to search for this problem, see this TV in operation on You Tube channel RedDodge1968, I will soon upload a video of the TV reassembled. Don't mistake this TV for my other Admiral Super Cascode, I have two Admiral sets, the other is next in line for an electronic restoration.
