Ok, I officially don't know what I'm doing then. I had all of the tubes removed when I did this. It sounds like the video was useless. I pulled all tubes, set the negative probe under the chassis to ground and used the hot (red) to test each socket.
How do I perform a proper plate voltage test? Do I insert all tubes except for the socket I'm testing?
EDIT: I now have a tube tester but I had to order a new NE-51 lamp for it.
