Put another tube and yes both sides are lit up. When the TV was working, this tube was not lit this brightly. When I bring it up to around 70ac volts through a 300w bulb, it's already burning brightly and none of the other tubes are getting warm or giving a hint of filament light, even with the room darkened. I'm probably going to have to go through the wiring, schematic, tubes and everything I replaced to run this down. Tics me off! The TV was working after I changed most of the caps. Then I started replacing resistors and when I powered it up, the 3 ohm resistor going to pin 4 of the 6AL5 burned up with a flash...I saw it against the bench behind the TV despite the chassis being upright. This was no slo-blo...it went off like a firecracker. Since I replaced it, I've brought it up very slowly on the Variac only to see the tube light up like it's been doing.
