On the HC chassis HV should be 15-18KV with 16 reccomended. Cathodes should be at 220V, grids at 175V, Screen grids 530-600V (though from the wiring it looks like they can be set between 270-670V). The focus is listed as DO NOT MEASURE and is connected to either ground, 270V, or the 670V boost.

The neon test is great if you don't have the nerve for the arc test or if your set has a fairly low HV, but I like the arc length better as I can get a quantitative measure of voltage based on arc length VS arc length of a known votage...My HV meter is DC only so I can(and had need to) guage an AC high voltage by arcing a known DC voltage and comparing arc length.

Good luck getting it going.
