Restoring a 1963 Admiral ctc-12 clone

[kramden66]

forgive me if what I'm about to say sounds stupid but I looked up the data on a 6DQ5 , it says the cathode is pins 3 and 6 , the schematic for the set shows pins 3 and 6 to ground and it says 200ma , so I am to measure between pin 3 or 6 to ground to get the ma ?

I break the connection to ground run it through the meter back to ground or I measure another way ?

or are we talking another pin not 3 or 6 ?

I only did ma once with a porthole and it was measuring one end and the other of a resistor and I got my ma reading and was able to reduce it by changing the value of the resistor, so on this color set to reduce it I touch the lin ?

don't put a resistor between ground and the pin to reduce?

I can tell you from the crosshatch that lin and width are adjusted so things are proper.

on the blue lateral I fixed that and I think I got the screen settings right , will have to go over it again to be sure.
