[Amps] SB220 Sick

[JayKay]

HI all

Need some help. I have a friends SB220 that does not accept RF drive. Following info

1) Plate voltage good at tubes
2) Looks like 30 ohm parasitic resistors/cap (aftermarket) are good, both tubes 
3) Relay closes...TUNE position plate idles at 100ma
4) When relay closed I do have a DC path from RF input via relay to tube just prior to .01uf coupling capacitor.
5) In standby RF path good from INPUT to OUTPUT
6) Tubes do not glow blue
7) The tubes appear OK (physically), passed the "shame next to ear" test
8) No grid current
9) Driving rig (TS950) shows INFINITE SWR which (to me) indicates an open or short (RF wise) in input.
10) 5 volt zener OK when relay energized

I am thinking it could be the .01uf coupler to the filaments

Thoughts?
