OK So testing pins 2 and 8 of the 5U4G tube socket I'm only getting 25.5 Ohms on those pins, and not the 22,000 Ohms I should be getting.

I'm guessing that means that the issues I'm having with the excessive (4.5 Amps, 520 Watts) current draw lies there somewhere?

Or is that a sign that something else further down the line is causing that excessively low filament resistance reading on my 5U4G tube socket?
