You just can't trust a Tube Tester.
Good grief John, you nailed it on the first try.
I swapped out V17 with one of the Sound i.f. tubes and the set started working!
I retested that rube and it checks very good, however bumping up the heater a little made the Short light start to flicker a little, after that it stayed on dimly, testing it the first time it just didn't get hot enough to show up the problem.
The second tube was a even little jittery when tapped so I tried another, now it's really solid.
Those same tubes work fine in the Audio section but I'll replace them anyway.
It's been messed with so much I still need to run through that setup procedure but at least it's working, when I get the new HV rectifiers in I'll try it with the 17" tube.
