Ok, This is what I did next.. Pulled the 1626 and the 1629 tube. Powered up on variac and got approx 500 volts AC between red and Red/Yel leads.. So that looked good.. No current drawn..

Next put in 1626 tube.. Powered up on variac and got about 180 or so volts B+.. Current draw small at about .10 Amps..

So I put in the 1629 Eye tube.. Powered up on variac.. Tube lit up and was only drawing about .2 amps on AC input.. But then tube started to flicker brightness. Started to smell.. So I shut down.. Nothing was hot underneath or looked like it burnt..

Never blew fuse..

Looks like the 1629 Eye tube is bad or intermittent..

IF can wire size and Rubber mounts?
Renovated Radios do carry what you need. As for the voltage, a wire should be at least 300V-rated.morzh — 11:13 PM
