found a sams on it (I was working from the service manual) so started with the resistance chart on the horz osc, hmmm another plate load resistor off a good bit, this time a 12k that was down to 8.8k. found a 12k that tested 13k in my stash of 2 watt carbons so I put that in. It also called shows a cathode current of 215ma, which is where I was, just seems a tad high.
I am starting to wonder if something in the HOTube started to short or get gassy or some other failure that may have pushed it over the top when the melt down started. oh well anyway press on and see what happens.
