Well, I thought everything was good. I have been running it on a Varaic hooked up to a Isolation Transformer.. Everything is good.. But when I hook up directly to the AC Mains the Eye tube flutters and the current goes up from about 100 Ma to around 400 to 500 ma and it makes a like arching sound...The current probably goes higher but I turn it off when that happens so I do not blow the fuse..

Any clues why?
