That is EXACTLY what this is doing! Well that makes me feel better
The neck activity only occurred in setup line mode... not at all running regularly.
I honestly believe this is the case, and I'm just going to let it run. It has only been ran for 15 minutes total after repairing the relay problem last night. This tube is probably 30+ years old and being powered on for the first time
