Something else came to mind. Is the heater in the 1232 glowing? On loctal tubes it can be difficult to see do to the getter flash (that's what makes the tube look like chrome on the inside). Dark room and looking from the bottom up helps to see it. If not this would indicate a bad connection in the 6.3vac heater line at the socket or between the socket and the tube's pin.

I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.
