those resistance readings were taken with the VOT taken completely out of circuit. I did attempt to test the VDR (R65) but did not get any sort of reading...I assumed that it was normal considering my Fluke and VTVM only puts out a few volts for resistance readings...but I've never encountered one before, and the Sams sheet doesn't give any indication of how a working one should test. I guess if that IS the source of failure, how would I go about getting the correct replacement? Two-thirds of it is white, with the other end having a black band and the end cap is red >> --{______white______|black|red}--
if anyone knows the VDR color code off hand.

I also ruled out the tubes being the issue as they test good, and I swapped them with others in the set with no change.
