Either way, like you I am assuming that the NC #4 is indeed a tie point as #5 certainly would not be right. I need to get a .pdf on my 25MC30 somewhere. However, it shows pins 1 and 9 according to what you are seeing and that would still have the resistor shunted to the cathode as the.pdf states, "pin 5 same as pin 1."

I hope I am correct in thinking like you that only one end of the resistor would be at the cathode, or pin 9 and the rest simply goes to second anode at CRT.

The way I found the socket, the filament went to pins 9 and 12. The regulator plate lead went to pin 9 and jumper went from 9 to 4. The 2nd anode lead went to pin 4, as well as the jumper going to the metal cup.
I, like a fool, removed the jumper and installed the resistor. It looked like the jumper was installed by a tech. Didn't look like factory issue.
Just remove the resistor, install the jumper and wire, per these instructions.
