Correct - I haven't disconnected the tripler, I was just measuring there. I was using a high voltage probe, it divides the voltage by 1000 so I can get a reading on my meter without blowing it sky high. So, my reading of .717 volts would indicate 717 volts at that point.

I'll disconnect the tripler and see if I can get healthy voltage there.

Another thing I noticed is that the damper socket is pretty cruddy looking, it'll probably have to be replaced, but I don't have any 12 pin sockets on hand.

I'll try to get a picture of the front of the set soon. It's not a Space Command, sadly. I would love to find one of those!
