"You kinda lost me.. . ."
Yes Terry, . . . I had ALL the tubes removed...I looked up on the tube manual just as you said ( about the 2 skinny pins being the HV connections), but my meter doesn't go high enough to measure the full HV amount...I thought it safer to just measure the two halves ; from one skinny pin to the center tap, then from the other skinny pin to the center tap. On one I get 400, on the other I get 4. The kicker was measuring the voltage across the two fatter pins : 332 volts! What is it supposed to be?...like 5?
