As Tim mentioned maybe we are chasing a red herring here. Possibly when the video signal is present it biases the grid more negative which would make the tube conduct less, bringing the plate to the positive voltages shown on the schematic.

OK thanks so much Kevin. I appreciate all of your almost real time input tonight. Tomorrow I'll feed a video signal in and check the voltages. It's time for some ice cream and TV...a 60" flat screen! Have a great night and I will update soon! Take care.
