Thanks Jim, you can't beat words from those experienced.

I guess a cathode test plug could be made to substitute one tube
plugging into

the socket .A dead tube could have its base made up for this, with
resistor added to

cathode connections equalling the hot value.

Then interchange tubes on the remaining socket to compare.
