OK I had a chance to check the 6AQ5 video output tube. The first value is the Sam's voltage the second is mine.

Pin Sam's Volt My Volt

1 0 1.6 VAC
2 18 33 VAC
3 Ground Ground
4 6.3 6.3 VAC
5 190 139 VDC
6 255 227 VDC
7 0? 1.5 VAC

I believe the Sam's says 1 & 7 are both 0V it shows this as 1-7.

So what I'm seeing is my voltages are low on 5&6 would this be low enough not to be able to pass a signal? I tried sending a signal in on Pin 1 and on Pin 7. But saw no reaction at all on the screen.

Also how come I didn't see a negative voltage listed to turn the tube on?

I cant find my larger tube test socket to test the 6AW8 video amp. But am I right in thinking if I sent a signal through on the grid of the video output tube I should get some kind of a picture from my signal generator?
