After all of that, V-24 is still not lighting?. Perhaps broken connector on the tube socket?

Another possibility is the socket has an internal short across the heater... the load from that could sag the HV.

If I can I'd like to go up 5-10KV on all the door knobs I order to ensure they last as long as I live (especially since they are getting discontinued). Also according to the datasheet the threaded ends only project about 1mm so I'm going to have to come up with something with the parts available at the local hardware store to match the 1" terminal projection of the originals.

If you rather we discuss this privately send me an email. My PM box is full.
I have tons of nos Rca and Zenith tv parts, I'll take a look and see if I have anything like that

I've studied that socket very carefully; although I can't see anything out of place (and no corona/etc in the dark) I may just try subbing it. I should mention, there is a 4.7 ohm resistor in series with the filament and I've swapped it not once but twice.

The other day when I tested with a bulb I had all leads unhooked from that socket and just hooked up the bulb alone (it lit, with a little bit of "gassy" glow visible). Tonight I stuck the leads of the light in the socket (with tube removed) and it glowed purplish as HV came up, then went dark. Its filament never lit. What does it mean? As Pee Wee Herman once said, "I don't know!"

A good ways back I bought door knobs for my CT100 21ct55 TM21 and CTC4.... think it cost me like 400 simolians. I'm pretty much set now.

If it is not lighting in socket that points to socket problems.
