Is your meter auto-ranging or it doesn't display the decimal point.
Your earlier posts, mentioned that the tubes lit, when you brought it up on line, but all you got was a squeal, which indicated possible bad electrolytics.
My meter has a 200 setting, then the next is 2000. It goes past the 200 setting (displays 1), and when I set it to 2000, it displays .356

Every tube lit up that I could see, with one in the can that I couldnt see.

I am lost about the cracking one in two idea.
