>The 200 ohm section that appears to handle the plate voltage for two 6J5 "driver" tubes is not generating a reading. Does that mean it is open/bad and what may I do to rectify the situation?
If there is no plate voltage on the 6J5 then the answer is yes. Well there is two answers. One you could replace the driver transformer. Or connect a resistor across the primary(like 70k or so ) and then connect the cap(like a '01 @630v) from the plate of the 6J5 to one of the grid connection on the transformer secondary.
Replacing the transformer is more efficient but adding the resistor and cap is much easier/cheaper.
