Ok so I slept on it a little bit and came back this morning and I went back and checked my voltages again, and the B+ voltage going to C3B and R54 and R56 is around 210V (which I'm going to chalk that up to the fact that the voltages in the Sam's are taken using a VTVM and I was using a DMM which might be why the voltages I'm measuring are a little off) and then the voltage going to pin 7 of the 3BN6 tube is around 145V which is only 10V higher than the voltage given for that pin in the Sam's (again I'm going to attribute that to the fact that I'm not using a VTVM here.)
But I'm still getting some funky readings on the output tube yet which I'm still kind of stumped about, I'm still getting NEGATIVE voltages on pins 5 and 6 of the 6AQ5 tube and also on pin 2 as well (and yes NOTIMETOLOSE I understand that doesn't make sense to you but that is what I am getting.)
I understand that the 6AQ5 tube is supposed to be self-biasing but whatever is in this TV's circuitry to make the tube do that doesn't appear to be working right otherwise I wouldn't be getting those funky voltage measurements and I would be getting a thunderous roar of white noise out of the speaker on the TV but that's not the case, the TV is dead silent, and I can't get the tuner to pull in the signal from my RF Modulator box which is being fed a signal from a DVD Player.
Before you guys ask, yes my RF Modulator works, I had it working on my Meck TV about a month ago so no its not my RF Modulator.
