I checked the 5AQ5 tube in the TV and it turns out it has a H-K Short, which would explain why there was there was not much voltage on pin 2 which is the cathode of the 5AQ5 tube, as for pins 1 and 7, pin 7 is empy, it has nothing tied to it, pin 1 has one of the leads from the volume control pot tied to it, if that makes any sense.
