I just double checked. Unless someone rewired this thing and moved one of the tubes, which I don't see any evidence of, it was definitely the right one. That being said...

I had my multimeter on DC. Maybe that's part of the problem? I'll rerun my tests, but I'd better check out that Yoke first. Looks like Moyer Electronics has a replacement, but I think I'll try and resolder that wire first. Assuming it's just the lead that's broken off, would splicing a new wire onto that lead and running an extension to the terminal be alright? I get the impression that the winding pattern on the yoke is fairly significant to its operation.

While I'm at it, I suppose it would be a good idea to measure the resistance on the yoke. I imagine I can do that from the plug, but I'm not sure how to tell which lead is which. Any ideas?
