While still connected that resistor is at 530,000 ohms....

Well...hold on. There are two resistors coming off that tube. One reads at .531 Mohms, and the other one is reading at 5 MOhms. If Im reading my schematic/product data sheets right I think they are supposed to be 2.2 and 4.7 MOhm resistors respectively.
