>So pin 8 is the cathode right? I still get zero resistance for it.
Correctamundo!! And we found a problem!
The 6A8's cathode should be about 400 ohms above chassis ground. Check your wiring around #'s 57, 58, and pin 8. May have a bit of extra solder or it may be bent over shorting it to the chassis.
This really make me appreciate my '36 116X, doesn't have all the bell and whistles of the 37-116 or the 38-116 but does sound good and is plenty loud! Have two of the 37-116 and after I get done with this 41-300 I might just dig into the manual tune set.
Happy Hunting!!!

When my pals were reading comic books
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.
Circa 1966
Now I think I've got!
