Ok so I pulled the cap off the hv rectifier tube, and got a pretty healthy arc. Not much room to move the cap in that little cage, but I could get a good half inch arc moving the cap away from the tube before it would start arcing all over the place. Now on measuring the cathodes, grids, and screen grids. Which color wire corresponds to each tube component to be measured? I sure don't want to mistakenly try to measure the focus wire. I did use the neon bulb test too. The neon lit up in the hv cage area, but not outside leading up to the anode cup. It barely lit up when I touched it to the tripler. Could the tripler have failed? Thanks for the tips so far.
