Okay, now I'm really confused.

I used the voltmeter function on my multimeter (on AC setting) with the positive lead on Pin 7 of the rectifier, and the negative lead on ground. 0 volts. I then moved it to the negative lead to pin 3 on the 50C5 and measured voltage between pin 7 on the rectifier to pin 3 on the 50C5. That should be filament. I know it's lighting. I get hum from the speaker and there's a pop when I turn the bandswitch, plus the dial light is lighting. But 0 volts on the filament!

Am I just using this wrong? Maybe my meter is dead after all? I can't believe I'm not getting any voltage there.
