Sparks in the neck are not a good sign. I think your 16GP4 may have gone to air. Are you sure no part of the metal bell is touching the chassis? Try it again with the test tube. If it works, I would presume the 16G bad until you can confirm its condition. It's not uncommon for insulators to fail. Recheck those as well.
