7jp4 HK short

[timmy]

Ok so this is very unusual this 7jp4 still shows a short with a separate heater voltage source and it shows a short on the shorts setting. I had wired my bk440 to test these tubes and has never failed me but now I am thinking that the tube plug cap may have been wired wrong because the 2 neon lights that come on are the 2 that tell me if the tube is good only its showing on the shorts setting and not the emissions setting. Is this at all possible being wired wrong. This tube I just acquired and it was in the box and showed no marks on the pins suggesting it was not in a set also has a good getter. Or maybe the wires under the cap are touching being they don't have insulation on them and maybe upon putting it on they are touching. Or in some way 2 wires are reversed . Got to find a safe way to get the neck socket off.
