Here's what I come up with, so power going into the rectifier is right around 500 VAC, I'm not sure with pin is #4 but only one read 195 VDC. On the output tube pin 3 is at 195 and 4 at 180, and no. 5 at 3.5 but for some reason I have to flip polarity on my leads to get a positive read out. The radio is 6V positive ground, battery voltage is good and the power wires are not getting hot.
