A quick update. I ordered a NOS 24 tube and tripled checked the resistors of all types with little success. So next is a NOS 35 tube. Sure wish I had access to a tube tester.

On a more positive note I did figure out how to get accurate voltage readings that jive with the riders chart. I just needed the right load. It took reviewing my old textbook on how meters work and the spec from the riders chart of 1000 ohms/volt. Now with a 250v scale that comes to 250k duh. Ok so I hung a 270k resistor on my digital meter as a dummy load and the readings were right on.

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