The only thing that connects the two pins directly is a small mica, which I robbed out of a parts chassis to no effect. I've done the obvious resistor and cap checks in the vicinity.
Forget your "golden screwdriver treatment" for the moment, you have a circuit wired wrong.

Pin 3 is a filament.

If rest of the set is working, that means the other tube's string filaments are lighting.

Unplug the set and ohm out the filaments in this area.

Pin three should have a choke and not a cap!
