You may be correct about the sam being wrong. It tested at 356 this morning with a DVM. So for now Im guessing i should use it?
I'll order the coating product mentioned. Thanks again!

I looked the schematic in Beitmans. The heater string is the same as in Sams, showing a 36 ohm, 20 resistor. Ohm's law proves that the resistor has to be a value between 30 and 40 ohms, otherwise the tubes wouldn't lite at all.
Is your meter auto-ranging or it doesn't display the decimal point.
Your earlier posts, mentioned that the tubes lit, when you brought it up on line, but all you got was a squeal, which indicated possible bad electrolytics.
