Sounds like your opt is shot. I would think that you would see abt 2-3k or lower end to end and half that at the tap. These days there's a limited number of choices, Hammond 125D or E is one that comes to mind. Not good to have screen voltage on the 42's and no plate voltage it causes the sg to draw excessive current which can damage them.

I was down in the basement in my dad's

Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
