Is this an effective method of checking the cathode current? I did some research on how to check this, since it's important, and I may as well know how to do it.
I plan to check this later after I make my trip to Milwaukee to get the parts CTC16.

Easiest is using a socket adapter for the 6JE6/6LQ6 and a 300-500mA analog meter. I have a center zero one, so hooking up requires no polarity. The adapter is a Pomona 2599, and breaks the cathode circuit for you-available on eBay and other vendors.
Make sure you have a spare horiz efficiency coil - mine was seized, so i swapped coils before I started. 112875 is the part number.
