Bryan -
Looks good. Congratulations on getting it up and running! That chassis is indeed the same one in my 1965 console. Fortunately I haven't had any problems with it (yet) other than corroded tube sockets. Still need to replace the electrolytics one day though.
As far as measuring cathode current - on my 1968 Admiral, there is a RCA jack installed in one of the holes in the chassis next to the HO tube, with the cathode connected to the center pin. A shorting plug is placed in there during normal operation, and to measure the cathode current, I use a RCA->BNC adaptor out through a cable to a DMM. This plug would also be a good place to plug in a cathode fuse for the HO tube. I have thought about installing one on the 1965 as it looks like there are some holes available.
