Okay, I've got no B+ coming off of pin 8 on the 35Z5. For sake of testing, I've gone ahead and ordered a spare tube. My heater should be good since my tubes are all lighting and the filament tested with continuity, but I checked it in my tester and it came back as no emission so perhaps that's my problem?
I want to verify that my voltmeter is good, though. I know the resistance checker part is fine, but to be safe I'm going to check the voltage on the heater pins. That should give me a good indication on what's going on.
Any other suggestions? I have a new filter cap set on the way to see if I burned out the old one, and the new resistors are installed and not getting hot. This has to be a power supply problem, whatever it is.
