How does the 5W4 and 83 tube filaments get fed?
Hickok AC51 tube tester

Note that no power cord, power switch, or power transformer switch are shown. That (along with my experience with full schematics for other Hickok models) would indicate that the power transformer has individual filament secondary windings (which are shown) for those tubes

Absolutely no one is going to reverse engineer that circuit. Even the iron core is missing.

I think they have only shown the secondaries of the transformer.
Two of them feed the rectifiers' filaments. People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.

I thought the 83 tube was bad because it looked white but it tests strong. Blue gassy though. I checked the fuse, it was corroded but ok. AC to switch but i cant trace it beyond that or the transformer. Tons of compact wires.

Cleaned ann contacts, switches and sockets, works great now.
