Both of these test good on my Super Mack. Pulling a set with a known good tube is a little difficult at this time as my back is acting up and I don't want to move my 8TS30
If the cutoff set will not budge, try dropping the cutoff bias range switch in the lower right. If you are seeing the same jumpy behavior with other CRTs, I'd suspect your CR70 isn't working properly.

Maybe try hooking up a voltmeter between G1 and ground while you change the cutoff control and see if it's changing smoothly or jumping around.
