Yes, Chad is right-these Pilots are notorious for blowing the crt filament. That already happened to the orginal 3KP4 so I have a green phosphor 3KP1 in there now. With a resistor in place of the filament the voltages look good. I will do a little more scavenging around here before buying a new one, which isn't that big a deal. There are ways to add surge suppresion of some sort to save the crt but I kinda like this way better.
