I did a continuity check on the hv cable last night and could not get continuity from pin 7 on the hv rectifier socket to the hv button. I did get continuity from pin 4. The cable ties in with a 470k resistor off pin 7. They might have used pin 4, since it's an unused pin as a junction point for the cable and resistor, but shouldn't I have gotten continuity from pin 7, where the other leg of the 470k resistor should attach? I'll take apart again tonight and check this. There was some sloppy repair work on this set before I got it, maybe they hooked something up wrong while repairing. Instead of a 470k resistor in the hv socket, there was two 1meg resistors in parallel (making 500k). I can't imagine that was original from Admiral, but maybe.
